I went to amsterdam with a car and believe me, amsterdam is a ****ed up city to drive in. I was comming up to a traffic light and it was red, I braked, shifted a gear back, the traffic light turns green, I hit the gas again, I drive trough some water, the water comes up on the side, i look what's happening and bang, right in the back of another car.
Thing is, in my town when the traffic lights go green they stay green for at least a minute... In Amsterdam they traffic lights are diffirent, when it goes green they stay green for about 10 seconds, 3 cars can get trough and it goes red again. now because I didn't expect the traffic light to go red so soon and when the water splashed up it got my attention since I had the window open. Also because I was braking in a pool of water I figure I was aquaplanning and I just slammed in the back.
Nobody got hurt tho. Damage is at least $3000,-
