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,-

well you know what the thing is that scares me.. I was doing about 25 mph now but I also had a simular thing once on a freeway where I was doing 80mph... I almost drove right in the back of a car that had to brake for something..... that time it went ok but what I would have been distracted because I was choosing another song on my radio player? then I would have hit the back of a car with 80mph which will surely kill you in a small car without airbacks..... The last thing I saw now was a big gray trunk of a car comming at me very fast.. I just hate the idea that that is the last thing you see alive.
