I can't wait to hear who you say is at fault.
The one doing the rear-ending in this situation is at fault. Your responsibility is to drive a safe distance behind another vehicle.

My friend was rear-ended when she stopped to let a firetruck exit the engine house. The woman complained to the cop that my friend shouldn't have stopped because no siren was on. The cop said, "Lady, if she stops to pick her nose and you hit her, it's your fault!"
