Had a wee accident

Glad your well though.

Possibly, had he have had his brakes on then i would have known he was stationery much sooner than i did.
But doesnt matter! We all walked away and are ok, if a little sore!

Indeed, not so much a bummer though because in this case it clearly was my fault, no wriggling or denying it.

If he'd had his handbrake on, wouldn't that mean his brake lights weren't lit? Sounds daft, but I've never been sure whether brake lights are connected to the handbrake too.

No they arent as the brake lights would be on all the time when your parked and flaten your battery and have you ever got out your car and popped something in the boot and seen the brake lights on :wink: It is a good idea though that hand brake should be wired up to brake lights when the engine is running.
