Under what circumstances does being hit from behind result in liability to the lead vehicle. It's the responsibility of the vehicle behind you to keep appropriate distance. This sounds like you're regurgitating their talking points like a bot.

I conflated two points. Driver hits something due to sudden braking = they are liable.

Driver hit from behind at high speed = dangerous for occupants. Either way no one asked the driver.
