Angry Got in an accident...

So it was pouring and the car in front of me, (3 or 4 so car lengths going about 25mph) stopped for a yellow light which i thought she would go thru and i would stop on the line, but she stoped and i pressed on my brakes, my car went sliding right into her, im guessing was going about 10mph maybe 15 since i had pressed on the brakes and i was going 25 to begin with.
her car is totaled my car isnt to bad my headlights are flopping around (the tabs are broken) my hood is dented, my grill and bumper are toast, and my car wont shift into park all the way and its driving kinda weird...

Idk...thats what i was thinking until i drove it, im scared there is a lot of internal dammage so i dont know if i wanna have the insurence cut me a check and then ill find more dammage later...i might do an emblemless grill out of mine & maybe 3k fogs and 6k low beams and led city lights since ill already have the lights out...but idk, this is my first accident so im kinda freaked out about it.

It was raining like hell yesterday. Thunder was coming down a lot as well. I didn't drive yesterday. I've gotten used to following far behind from a car even in dry conditions.

There has to be significant hidden damage to your sedan. Just by looking at the other car, you were going faster than 15 mph when you hit it. I hope the repairs go well for you. I rear ended someone 2 months ago, luckily I had no frame damage.

I was going to say the same, Udacha wasn't with you that night. Btw no way you have frame damage from such light hit.

Sorry this happened man. Damage doesn't look to be very bad at all to me, particularly with how the other car looked. I really hope there isn't any hidden damage.

How do you have frame damage? Car doesn't look bad at all.

Also, explain how the car is driving weird?

ABS didn't kick in? Same thing happened to me 6 years ago. I was driving my teg with almost bald tires in the rain. Some idiot stopped in the middle of no where for no apparent reason. I was driving 35 mph on the highway.

My first reaction was to slam on the mother FN brakes and the ABS kicked in. I stopped within centimeters of the other guys rear bumper. Luckily the ABS kicked in.

When this happened, the idiot in front of me looked in the rear vie mirror and was shocked I didn't hit him. He just looked at me for a minute or two and then drove off.

------------------

Does the ABS even work on our cars? I never seen it kick in while driving the G.
