"Sorry, I have no excuse. I just wasn't paying attention..."

...said the driver who was sitting behind me at an intersection after this happened.

It was a bummer that it happened, but it was nice that it wasn't damaged very much and was fixed fairly quickly.

Unfortunately you had to deal with the hassle and inconvenience. Glad it worked out well in the end.

It sounds as if he was making this statement when you had your hands around his throat !!

Haha, I'm not prone to violence easy. Maybe because I'm weak in stature

2 weeks prior a woman reversed into me (at an intersection, I think she went over the white line and yes, I kept PLENTY of distance) and scraped a bit of paint off my front bumper. I was much more annoyed at her because she said (in a foreign accent) 'what is insurance?', standing next to her car already scratched and dented on pretty much the entire rear.

Oh well, both fixed now and happy to be back on the road.
