an unfortunate incident.

[Millietant]

At those slow speeds, I'd suspect the law would have you in the wrong - if you hit the rear section of his car. On the basis that, if you had left sufficient distance between you, relative to your speed, then you would have been able to stop.


It's basically like that on nose to tail bumps, where the driver of the vehicle which hit the rear of the other vehicle is always at fault.


You might (rightly) feel aggrieved, but that's the way it could be.
