"50 % of the time I can clearly see the fault is with the vehicle IN FRONT. "
“I don’t see how it could possibly be the vehicle IN FRONT’s fault.”
It could be the car in front’s fault if the car in front violated the tailing car’s Right of Way to get in front.
Case in point: 4-lane road comes to an intersection and red light. The left lane accommodates both straight and left-turning traffic, but has no dedicated left-turn arrow. PSL is 35 MPH.
I am in the right lane, traveling the speed limit(-ish), going straight. In the left lane are one car, waiting to turn left, and another right behind it.
Just as I approach the intersection, the car waiting behind the left-turner gives up and pulls into my lane, just in front of me, with a 30+MPH speed differential.
Now, I anticipated this, and was able to stop (barely), but if I hadn’t been so quick, it WOULD have been the fault of the car in front for violating my ROW…(although I admit proving this would have been tough without witnesses).
