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.
I was talking about the scenario Mr. Incredible was giving. I agree with you. I was just her generalizing given the scenario. In NYS you can't get plates and will be pulled over very quickly without insurance or license as the police all have plate scanners. They will know within seconds if the car isn't insured.
