Pretty bad, dude. No doubt that's more than $500 in damage and it will get reported to DMV, which will likely cause a point. Did you get a police report?

Points on The Driver Record

DMV keeps a public record of all your traffic convictions and accidents. Each occurrence stays on your record for 36 months or longer, depending on the type of conviction.

You may be considered a negligent operator when your driving record shows any one of the following "point count" totals regardless of your license class:

4 points in 12 months
6 points in 24 months
8 points in 36 months

I dont see how anyone can give someone sympathy for wreck caused by tailgating. True, the mustang shouldn't have brake checked you that hard, but you shouldn't have been tailgating in the first place.

For me, its flash the brake lights, flash the lights again, flash a third time, then start applying the brakes.

Bottom line, if you tailgate you're an idiot and you deserve to wreck. You are not that special that you get to pressure people ahead of you to go faster.
