If said vehicle were to have come to stop earlier in a travel lane and you contact it .....YOU are at fault.

And this is why insurance costs are insane in NJ. If you have an old shitty car just put out your turn signal and cut a driver off then slam on the breaks. Magically you get thousands of dollars plus a paid vacation for all the pain and suffering cause by the other driver failing to maintain control of their car.

This makes me wonder if you ever even been in a court room before, the officers show up to court. Hell, if this were the case everyone could get all traffic citations dismissed because they are all just hearsay.
