if you ran into something from behind that was either stopped or slow moving, you are at fault, and were going too fast for conditions. period.
I am amazed at the amount of drivers that disregard the 60 km/hr law regarding safety/enforcement vehicles stopped on the roadways. I was pulled over by a DOT not long ago and vehicles were whizzing past as he was weighing each of my axles separately with a portable scale....asked him about the law, he said "no one slows down..."
I load a lot of stuff on the roadways, large equipment with big long trailers and everything must be as level as possible when loading....which sometimes means loading in the center of the roadway so the crown doesn't make the trailer lean over when weight is applied. I was loading a butt' n' top log loader on a gravel road and hear this pickup coming....fast....I had cat chains in one hand and boomers in the other so I dug my toe into the gravel and kicked it up as the truck went by, you could hear the gravel smacking off his grill and windshield as he drove by. he was very upset, and stopped a couple hundred feet away yelling that he had slowed down enough in his opinion. I dropped the chains and boomers, grabbed my snipe and started walking toward him when he sped off.....
