You must stop. The vehicle behind the stopping vehicle is 100% liable and if the police attended the 2nd vehicle would have been charged. I wouldn't go to the cops, they can charge you on the spot for admitting to running into the rear of another car. I know it has happened before.

Never assume. If you do, feel comfortable with the risk.

in some areas dogs are allowed to walk freely off the lead if under control. nothing was mentioned as to whether there was a person close by. if there is a person crossing the road we give way to them if we are turning into a street.
its all still a of a thing to happen no matter who is right and who is wrong |

But don't be surprised if the owner of that vehicle gets out and punches you in the face!

The person who is infront of it all isnt at fault at all unless it was reckless driving. The 2nd car hits is responsible to the 1st cars damage and the 3rd car is responsible for the 2nd cars damage. Thats why your not meant to be up the **** of any car at traffic lights. If anyone hits you and you hit the person in front of you then its your fault becasue its deemed you were too close. I usually stay back so i can see the rear tyres of the car in front of me. This is what my driving instructor told me.

It is true that when stopped at lights, stop sign etc you should be able to see the base of the rear tyres on the car in front of you, minimum, if you can't you are too close.

The law is shades of grey most the time, you can only hope you land on the side that benefits you.

I know someone who has done exactly this (they definatley require anger management classes). Of course I would not condone such a thing but it is a very clear part of the law.

Touch luck Nudge. I had the same happen to me in reverse. Set of lights (green) when Wee Whaa Ambulance comes powering through. I stopped the car behind me didn't. Small rear end followed. Uncle_Ken
