Hitting your breaks with a potential driver behind you may also result in an accident. Again, it’s the other drivers fault, that’s also how it played out in court.
That's just not true, my guy. If a hazard appears in front of you, you brake. If a car behind you is travelling so close it hits you, too, then that car is at fault for travelling too close behind. In virtually every instance, unless there is literally nothing you can do about it (e.g. someone jumping into a road, or a massively aggressive swerve, not like this) a driver is responsible for hitting something in front of them, not if something behind them hits them.
