Sorry, you're at fault. You must be able to brake fast enough to avoid rear ending them. When you brake, it's not an immediate stop so you have to have space.

Its your fault, im so tired of people riding my ***, if you rear end a car in front of you im sure th police at the scene gave you a ticket"failure to control speed to avoid an accident" thats what my ticket was some 8 years ago. Everysince i dont get close to anyone. I hate when people stop so close to me especially when im driving a 5 speed and stopped at the red light on top of the hill its very annoying so i hope this is a learning lesson for you. Take it and run with it . Get out your DL book and read over it your supposed to be atleast a car away from the next.

You will most liklely be charged to the whole accident for you are the last car in line. It depends on how many impacts the car in front of the chain reaction felt. If he agrees that he was hit from behind 2 times, then you and the car in front of you would share some of the damages. but if your front end dmgs are really bad, and the other cars have minor damage to the front of their car. Most likely your insurance company will have to pay for all of the damages. I hope you have good policy limits for liability.

You are at fault. Your speed and following distance have to be enough to avoid an accident if the vehicles in front of you stop. That's the way it will be seen in the eyes of the insurance company, though it sounds like you are not in the states.

If you hit someone in the rear then you were not at a safe distance back because if you were you would have had distance and time enough to stop. In a rearend collision the vehicle in the rear is always at fault. They are the ones in control (hopefully).

you rear ended him. i believe you are at fault. you're supposed to keep at least a full car length behind the car in front of you. i think you were much closer. try not to follow so closely, then you wont have to worry about breaking fast and hard too quick. at least it'll give you a second to Think.

Clearly you did not have a safe distance, so both you rear-enders are at fault. Just admit it to yourself so you can become a better driver instead of enjoying that indignant pride.

the other car is at fault for the 1st accident and you are at fault for the 2nd. (yes, these are 2 seperate occurances!).
