Yikes.

I hate to say, though, the person hit from behind is almost never the one at fault. If a cop wrote it up that way, then you're very lucky.

With few exceptions, if you rear-end someone, it's your fault.

Good luck, man!

X2 you got lucky. Most the time they would just tell you that you shouldnt have been following so close under those conditions. just to keep in mine in weather like that your suppose to follow the 6 second rule instead of the 3 to compensate for the lack of friction.

I suspect that his leaving the scene was what saved you.

yeah, you can say that. but the police are going to talk about city about that turn off to. Because all the other turns have those dips out and the one that we were on didn't have one. The police they get the most alot of calls on accidents off that one little turn.
