It is ok that we do not agree, this is a dicussion forum

Very true. Ok.

Let's get this correct, you lost control of your car because the tranny failed, and someone hit you from behind and they are telling you that you are at fault. Is that correct ? Plus, why would you be at fault for the tranny failure ?

That's all I was trying to get across, was that it was not the fault of driver that the tranny failed, that's it

In the accident that you referenced, first that guy hit a car totally stopped on the freeway going 65mph and did not get hurt, very very lucky. The key to his description is that the car in front of him was able to avoid the accident, why was he not able to ?

I hate to speak for people, I'll let Will chime in if he wishes...

Oh well, everyone can take what they wish from this thread. I'll shut up now, time for some soda

I guess the driver is at fault, right, roadman? Would you'd say the guy leaving the car in the road had nothing to do with this?

An abandoned car in the middle of the freeway ? A bunch of questions pop up. First if it was you or I and it was my car, I would not stay in the car either, to easy of a target. Maybe the guy did not have a cell phone and started to walk for help. You cannot go with the argment that if the car was not there then I would not have hit it, that would be the case for any accident.

Why no lights on, maybe they forgot to put on their flashers or the battery was totally dead. If later they find out that the hazards were functional and the driver forgot to put them on, then maybe you have something to work with.
