Driving my sisters to go get dinner I'm following a car about 20 yards behind. The car starts tapping their brakes on a green light for no reason so I slow down but the space between us slowly closes, and then the car slams on their brakes as soon as the light turns yellow. Their car being a newer model stops on a dime while my older 2000 ford kicks on abs and slams right into the rear end. Later when we both pull over, it Turns out the car driver was a friend of my sister and recognized my truck which explains why she was hitting her brakes before. But who is at fault. I know typically rear ends are the back cars fault but if the forward car was already hitting their brakes for no reason and then slams on their brakes to avoid going through a newly turned yellow light leaving me no room to stop or move lanes because the car behind me in the other lane went through the yellow with plenty of time to avoid running a red light. Who is really at fault?
