I am perplexed and a bit outraged after reading this story. Why is the driver of the Pontiac at fault for other than speeding? If a vehicle slams on the brakes for whatever reason (animal running across the road, or you suddenly felt chest pain), it’s the responsibility of those behind him to stop in time. Drivers are supposed to leave sufficient distance to allow for a safe stop. If someone decides to tailgate at high speed and loses control because the car in front brakes, it’s their own fault. What if the SUV had rear-ended and killed the Pontiac driver instead, then whose fault would it be? I hope this guy manages to successfully fight these over the top charges.
