On a side note I do think the rule that if you hit them in the back its basically your fault. It is DAFT!
You can be totally following the rules, good brakes, car etc and someone dumb in front of you just does something totally unexpected. Heck, F1 these happen and most of the time its classed as just a racing incident.
you should allways leave a gap big enough to stop if something completely unexpected happens. I know we dont allways but in the rules of the road there is no excuse for rear ending someone.
True and I do, but I mean, I had one car turn into the road in front of me being in the wrong, I had to bake to avoid them, did so, they picked moved off and I was still rolling of course still and then suddenly braked hard again and spun round. I had to brake hard again and move left a bit too. They just had no clue of anything around them but if Clipped them in the back I would be in the wrong.
