True. Even if some dumb bitch slams on her brakes and comes to a complete stop on the freeway in busy traffic and you rear end her. Your front bumper is fucked but she bitches because she has a couple scratches.
I tried to argue reckless driving but it didn't matter even if the judge and police officer agrees with you.
Regardless of what the dumb bitch in front of you does, if you rear end another car you were following too close and the accident is your fault. The rule is to follow 2 seconds behind (or 4 seconds in the rain). It's the most easily avoided accident possible. Most people who have never had to brake at high speed in an emergency completely underestimate how much distance it takes to come to a complete stop, especially in older vehicles.
