I consider that as defensive driving according to the circumstances. Then I heard screeching tyres and bang wallop, nothing I could do about it. I really like this old Saab and try to keep it pristine free on bumps and scratches. Luckily, hardly any damage to my rear bumper, though the Golf's front bumper was in pieces. The Ford car in my neighbours drive has also been rear-ended, the damage extending into the boot (trunk) of the car.
