This is the correct answer. Everyone who rear-ended anyone is at fault for failing to keep a safe distance.


False.


Not if the car behind pushed it


If the car behind "pushed it" via the momentum of the car that hit them from the rear, especially if they were stopped, it is not their fault.

I've been in this situation - both police and insurance declared the person at the back of the chain 100% responsible for everyone.

Wrong. It depends on the circumstances.
