Any time you run into the car in front of you, you are at fault--even if the car in front of you decides to slam on its breaks, for whatever reason. My friend was rear-ended by a woman who claimed my friend shouldn't have stopped in her lane because an emergency vehicle she stopped for was in another lane.
The cop said, "Lady, even if she stops to pick her nose and you run into her, you are at fault."
