I've been getting rear ended quite a lot online, and I think I figured out why tonight.
I was racing on a CTRA server, doing pretty good, when some guy rear ends me as i'm slowing down into a turn.
I figure "no biggy, i'm not perfect either, and I wasn't thrown off of my line. I won't say anything".
Then as soon as the race finishes he tells me "sinkoman, LEARN TO DRIVE".
I reply "what the heck man, you REAR ENDED ME!"
"LEARN TO DRIVE SINKOMAN! YOU BRAKED!"
"NO CRAP I HIT MY BRAKES! Learn to ANTICIPATE! I had complete right of way man!"
"Nobody brakes at that turn, LEARN TO DRIVE!"
Ok, so what i'm wondering is, let's say i'm following pretty closely to the rest of the pack, and I can see that i'm coming into the next turn at an off angle, so I hit my brakes and drop speed just a smidge, something that nobody else is doing. I apparently just misjudged, and didn't realize I could make it.
Yet the guy following slams into me at full speed.
Who's "fault" would you say that was? Mine or his?
I've been under the impression that whilst following, it's YOUR responsibility to correct your line for whatever odd actions the driver ahead of you may make, exactly like in real life, but i'm a noob, so i'm not entirely sure on this :\
