Actually, never mind. A tailgater hitting someone who is braking to avoid an accident is absolutely an example of the hitter being at fault. Can’t imagine why you would think he’s not.
Perhaps I misunderstood you. You replied to this:

your reply:

What?!!?


How about...a person slams on their brakes to avoid a kid chasing a ball across the street. A tailgaters hits the braking vehicle.

I can't wait to hear who you say is at fault.


seemed like you were saying "What!" "The hitter is not always at fault" Then you produced an example of a tailgater hitting someone, and yes the tailgater (hitter) would be at fault, so basically gave an example proving billethkids point. Thus a poor example to prove the hitter is not always at fault.
