AND... regarding rear end accidents ALWAYS being the fault of the rear car? Lame. There are countless exceptions to that. Say you are cruising down the road at 50 MPH. A car flies out of a side road, running the stop sign, pulls in front of YOU at 20 MPH. You will drive into his tail with a 30 MPH difference, which will be a major accident, probably totalling both cars. Just one example of NOT being the fault of the rear car. ............................................ or, you are on the freeway, travelling 65 in the left lane. A jackwad in a laborer's pickup truck with rakes and water jugs and five guys in the cab changes lanes (with no signal, of course... he's got no license, and the top speed on the '76 pick-up truck is 45 smokin' MPH) to get into the left lane (Don't ask me why those guys so desperately want to be in the passing lane, when they are the slowest vehicle on the road). BAM! You ram the guy, because HE got in your way without warning, without time to react................................... There are an infinite number of exceptions to the "rule" that it's "always" the fault of the rear car.
