Driving and learning in Queens might be kind of rough. You know, we're not the most patient drivers in the world. :twisted: But hang in there and it'll all come together quickly.

I had my hazards on the whole time just to make sure no one follows me, so there wasn't that much pressure. Is it true that,when i roll back a little, If the guy is too close and i bump him, am I at fault?

Yes, you better get some money back. Scamming f**k lied to you. If you don't then I guess you know where he lives?

Yea, you're at fault.

It could also be just as likely that the previous owner was clueless and thought he had an SE-R too, because someone put the badge on there. But still, you need to get some of your moolah back.

I know where he lives, calling in the morning because hes not picking up. Its not that big of a deal but still, I'm should get like 250 back or something I guess.

Every time someone was behind me at a light, they were practically in my trunk. Same fault blame?

Was the SR engine used in the G20? My friend has a 94 and they look the same from those photos. It sucks that happened and hopefully everything works out for you.

Nice. I stalled like 5 times at one light the day I got my car :lol: . You'll get all that out of your system soon enough.

When you stop behind someone, you're supposed to leave quite a bit of space. Most people do not leave as much as they're supposed to. I don't know if it's merely an advisory thing or if it's actual law. Either way, I think you're still at fault if you roll back into someone.

Now that we've made you nervous, let me say, don't be nervous. Just enjoy.

I think the distance thing may just be a general rule of thumb when stationary in case there is a minor bump so you don't hit the driver in front, or at least reduce the chances of it. I do know that tailgating is illegal here though.
