said. In NY it's not your fault if you get from behind. I know of PLENTY of instances where some idiot pulls out in front of someone and get rearended, and the idiot gets away scott free.
If you hit someone from behind you are at fault, doesn't matter why.
I hit someone once from behind because they decided to pull out of a parking spot without looking, I was at fault even though the cop gave a chastizing to the other driver. Luckily I didn't get the ticket.
