OK

I have heard of stupid things but this one is right up on the list
----------------------------------------------------------------

October 30, approx 1:30pm
sunny, 41deg, wet roads, no ice, some slush on sides but not in road.

was traveling east northeast on Foster Road Burlington Ma
(nearest intersection is Bradford road and Foster Road)

approx 15mph there was a Blue 2010 Sienna van a few car lengths in front of me traveling same speed and direction.

The van slowed and came to a complete stop in the middle of Foster Road.

I also safely stopped approximately 15 yards behind the van.

I wonder what is going on, because the road was clear and there was no apparent reason to stop in the middle of the road. So I waited.

Then for no apparent reason and no type of signal from the Van driver, the Blue van reverse lights came on, then backed up and proceeded to come toward me. No time for me to react, and I was afraid to suddenly reverse my own vehicle in case someone was behind me. I held the brake and honked my horn repeatedly to no effect. The van continued to reverse into my front bumper, slamming my car. Then the van driver stopped.

Visible damage to the Yaris is: cracked bumper near driver headlight, damaged
front wheel well plastics, damaged and scraped paint, visible front end bumper
misalignment.


the other driver exhibited such a douchtastic level of driving prowess I had to post it up
