    In the EU people follow too close and produce an accident, get exclusive fault for said accident. So you really couldn’t care less whether they’re doing it, they need to pay for everything and take exclusive responsibility.

        A rear-end is quite easy to prove. The back of your car is fucked, while the front of their car is fucked.

          And if you’re driving at 60 then slam on the breaks because you thought you saw a cat?

          Insurance companies will screw you any way they can.
