nup, always the car at the backs fault - no matter what the circumstance.
the bloke infront could diliberately chuck on the handbrake at 100k's/hr and if you run up the back of him its your fault.
a bloke i worked with was at a set of traffic lights on a hill one time and the driver of the car in front couldnt do a hill start properly and rolled back into his car. naturally they got out and exchanged insurance details. a few weeks later he got a bill in the mail for damages to her car because she said that he ran into the back fo her.
he called her up and told her where to go and to check the police report he made the afternoon it happened. of course, he didnt end up paying
this is a terrible misconception (in vic at least).
the driver in front CAN and at times HAS been found to be at fault. It is to do with driving safely. slamming the brakes unnecessarily is not considered safe driving.
no matter how many people say "the car at the back is 100% to blame" don't listen to them. Very common misconception.
How can you prove without video evidence that there WASNT a danger to brake hmm?
