I got hit in the back of my car, it was a long time ago (the evening of the day in 1966 when England won the world cup). I got shunted into the car in front. I foolishly had my foot on the clutch (in gear) and on the brake. Both feet came off the pedals with the impact. The car behind did not have insurance. So my full comp paid and I lost my No Claim Bonus.

Anyway, ever since then I have never been stationery in traffic without having my hand brake firmly on and my car in neutral. I recommend that practice to all.
