I think it is the "some drivers" you need to apologise to, not me. You need to accept that unexpected things happen on the road and that you need to be prepared for them; otherwise you will be doing an awful lot of shaking if something as meaningless as this sets you off.

You need to reflect long and hard on what happened and what you could have done about it - not simply blame the driver who'd stopped in front of you (after all, you don't know why they stopped, you're making an assumption).

It sounds like you're an inexperienced driver, and if that's the case treat this as one of those lessons which you've been lucky to learn before it's too late. Sadly there are many drivers who never learn because they put the blame on others.

As a motorcyclist I hear the same thing from other riders - he pulled out in front of me, etc etc. Rather than think about what they could have done to prevent it happening or mitigate its effects (e.g. slow down, adopt a more visible position) they blame the driver.

There are some of my friends who don't have accidents but in every journey there's a near miss because of 'some idiot' - yet others who seem to just calmly get on their way and still get there just as fast.

As for me - not perfect, prone to red mist at times, like most drivers!

Nervous drivers are not the best sort of drivers.

I'd also suggest checking the road to the right rather than the left when joining a roundabout as well otherwise you'll be doing a lot more shaking!

Seriously?

It happened a few minutes ago, so you, whilst "still shaking now" came home, opened MSE and posted here about it?

I guess you've never heard of a smart phone.;)

Oh come on. The OP was "still shaking" when she posted, why get the smart phone out and post on MSE about it, surely there were more important things to do.

Why the new account.....you weren't banned by any chance were you?

What could have happened that won't happen four or five times week when you drive a bit more? Really, if something like this affects you this much, you need to grow a thicker skin........and maybe pay more attention.
