[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was once on a highway in florida going about 80 in the left lane.  The whole flow of traffic was 80.  This idiot slammed on her brakes and came to a complete stop.  No one was in front of her.  She just looked young and dumb.  At 80, i try to keep 4 or 5 car legnths. I dangerously switched lanes but no one else had time to stop.  I witnessed a multi car crash.  It was the fault of the driver that stopped.  [/quote]

How do you know who was cited for the crash if you weren't involved?

If you swereved and just barely missed being involved, then presumably you continued some distance down the road from where the crash happened. Maybe a quarter mile? That's about as close as you could reasonably be, having just been doing about 80mph, a quarter mile takes about 12 seconds. That's about the time you'd need to get under control, brake, and pulled over onto the shoulder and stopped. Then what? You're too far away from the scene at this point. Did you walk back? Back up dangerously on the shoulder?

Or did you just keep going like a reasonable person would do? Call the police once you're past it? Because that's what most people would do.

So how do you know the driver in front who stopped was at-fault?

Because every driver is responsible for not hitting the vehicle in front of them. And everyone in that crash failed to do that.

They are ALL at fault. Except for the first driver.  [/quote]
