    i once bumped some idiot who decided to go around a corner at 1mile per hour for no reason at all,i was going normal speed just didn't expect him to crawl when turning left

    insurance said defo my fault even though he was driving like a noob, anyone who bumps anyone else up the rear (sorry does that sound rude) is at fault no matter what the person in front has done

    i agree if you go into the back of someone its your fault, but if you were stationary and they rolled backwards into you (which i assume happened;)) i am sure that is a different matter.

    You are indeed correct. If you go in to the back of someone then you are automatically at fault, no ifs no buts.

    I was on a bus once and the driver stopped to pick someone up. A car slammed in to the back of the bus and the car driver and her bf were ranting and raving that the driver braked suddenly and that it was his fault. Being a bus with passengers on it the driver had to call the police and they took their time in coming. Eventually all the passengers got piffed off and left the driver to it. I stuck around so the driver had at least one witness, especially if it got nasty as the two from the car were having a right go. They kept saying it was his fault and that they were going to sue him and have him sacked etc etc. Eventually I piped up and told them to shut up and told them that if you go in the back of someone it's automatically their fault. I got told to shut the fcuk up and was told I was only a passenger on the bus and asked "what the hell do you know?" The police eventually arrived and they went off on one with them and they told them what I had said and asked if they would tell me to butt out as I didn't know what I was talking about. The oldest one of the two coppers looked at them and said "The young laddie is 100% correct so I think you owe him an apology, hope you've got good insurance, buses are expensive to fix". I never got the apology but I did get a very nice letter from First Bus for sticking around with the driver and providing the police and them with witness statements. :)


    If I remember correctly, it's all about allowing sufficient space between your car and the next. If you are able to roll back into the car behind, then they have not left enough space.
    If it had been a slightly different situation and the car behind you had someone go into the back of them, then because they had not left enough space they would in turn have hit you, IYSWIM.

    It is always the person at the back of the pile up that would be found at fault.
