Well I guess you can call me the test dummy.
Here is the sceanrio:
On the left side of the road is a bunch of taxis waiting in line just prior to an intersection with a traffic light. Light turns green. I got stuck behind a cop at the intersection a little less then mid way through blocking a cross walk. Light turns red and I decide not to move. However since I'm blocking the cross walk I look behind me and see nobody and decide to backup a few feet to open up the cross walk. (What a nice guy.) :4:
During this time the taxi decided to pull out... a lot. I did not notice the cab to my left rear and while backing up was only looking in my rear view. Booonnkk! Hit the cab.
I stepped out of the car and appologized. (I wish he tooted his horn at me.) We both look at the cars and no damage.
Thank goodness. So I can now officially say that they rear bumpers protected the car up to 2 MPH! :2:
