Like stated before in this thread it you rear end someone it is "always" your fault.Well, not "always": My mother backed out of a private driveway onto a state highway and got rear ended. Guess who got ticketed!

Guess who got ticketed!I was rear ended a couple years ago and hurt my neck. In IL, they can still say you are partially at fault as a percentage (10%, 20%...) I makes no sense to me as I've always known if you rear end someone it's 100% your fault, too fast for conditions. But it's IL so...
And on a multi-lane - in most states require - slower traffic keep right.

I've never understood people like truckers who are often in a hurry to pull out in front of others just to hold them all up by forcing an opening for them pulling in front of other cars making those poor saps slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. If I pull in front of someone I haul A so they don't have to even touch their brakes but not everyone is considerate.
It is easy to brake check a tailgater without the risk of being rear-ended by simply keeping your right foot on the accelerator and gently resting your left foot on the brake pedal brake light comes on but you are not slowing down and creating a dangerous situation. Then when it is safe to change lanes move to the right lane and let hot rod Harry continue on his way.
