((( No matter why someone stops, if you slam into them, you've been driving too close. A good rule of thumb is leaving at least 3 seconds in between.))
Not at all the truth , sorry .....but I had a person cut in front of m because she was in a hurry , only to realize the lane was stopped , she almost hit the car in front of her due to her error , I slid into her , icy roads and I already was leaving ample space between me and the car in front of me , also in 4x4 to gain extra traction , she was parked diagonally across the lane when she stopped ??!!! I even asked her why she had cut in so close , she admitted her error , her lane had stopped due to a person turning off the road , to much in a hurry!!, but our insurance company is under the same false belief that I had been following her to closely ,even though she admitted to the error I refused to sign any papers , as they wrote on the report that I had been following her .....which I never had , going to get one of those dash cams , next time I'll sue the insurance company
