yes absolutely it is the fault of the person behind you. that is the law in the United States, as well. following distance is controllable only by the following car. failure to maintain adequate following distance then rear ending the car you are following, no matter what reason they stopped, is always the fault of the following car, and never the followed car. stopping for no reason on a busy interstate is an offence, but it will cause zero crashes if people are following at safe distances. the number of people who have forgotten what they probably didn't learn to begin with in Driver's Ed is really scaring me right now.
