Unhappy Bad news=rearended, good news= not Z

Got rear-ended yesterday when stopped in front of a traffic light ... in my Outback, my Z is sleeping in the garage, warm and safe. Total 6 cars, no serious injury, mine's in the front. My damage is minimal. Check out that bad a$$ green truck who started the chain, he didn’t even get scratched. The driver was charged impaired.

The car in front of me did some heavy braking that started it. Lucky that I didn't hit him, had about 2 inches to spare.

hmmm... brings up an interesting point. What are our 60-0s? 115 feet, give or take? I don't care if that Hummer H2 behind me is tailgating or not, if I slam on my brakes, he has to:

1. Realize I am slamming my brakes and do the same (reaction time)

2. Stop from 60-0 just like me, but do it in 135ft.

Something tells me through really no fault of his own except having a big *** hummer, he would be at fault. I could go slamming my brakes all day long and cause so many problems... yikes.


And the green truck driver was charged with impaired driving? Was he drunk?

It's kind of a raw deal that when he can't stop in time and causes that chain reaction, he is at fault for all of it.
