Well in occured at a low speed, do you know how much damages will cost. There was no damage to my car, but his cars bumper paint peeled off and it kind of crushed very little. We exchanged some information, but no insurance information yet. Is this going to cost a lot of money you think?
The person behind has the right to be annoyed that the lead driver stopped abruptly, but the simple fact is, you're responsible for hitting the car in front of you in the situation you described.

Sounds like you rear-ended them. Are you the same person who had
the driver ahead "Brake aggressively" a couple of weeks ago? If the
front of your car strikes the back of another and they are not in
reverse, 99.99% of the time you are at fault.

Why does your brake light on your 2004 tracker keep coming on and it just started making a horrible grinding noise what could this be?
The grinding noise is the brakes pads proably the noise is in
the front. The front brake pads are easy to replace and is a do it
yourself sort of thing. My guess is your brake light is coming on
because of this condition.
I assume your brake light has been coming on for a little while
now.
