You can question all you like. The FACT is that I could walk into any courtroom in the country and testify as an expert witness. If you were in a car under your control and that car comes into contact with a vehicle not in motion then YOU are at fault for failure to maintain proper stopping distance. If said vehicle were to have come to stop earlier in a travel lane and you contact it .....YOU are at fault. If the vehicle is abandoned sideways on it's roof and you hit it.....You're still at fault. You don't have to like what I say and I could care less if you did. Doesn't change the outcome. To be frank , I had an idiot two weeks ago jam on brakes for a flashing yellow in front of a fire station. I got a ticket and a new offroad bumper and some LED lightbars out of it instead of getting factory gear. Was the person stupid , yep. But it was my fault was I too close , by Florida traffic standards, no. But if you look at the book and figure in a 6000lb truck... yeah I was too close. You don't need to look hard to see I dont have to make up credentials. I wasn't flaunting that , I simply gave an opinion when one was asked for. I simply happen to be uniquely qualified with knowledge, training and 25yrs of experience actually doing it.
