In Australia the following driver is responsible for keeping enough distance from you so that if you stop, for any reason, they won't hit you. It's always their fault if they hit you. Of course this rule doesn't apply if you cut into their lane or what have you.

Sometimes I wish I had a old bomb with a massive towbar so that I could teach people lessons.
