I'm not sure about all states but here in MI whoever hits the rear is at fault. So if the car behind you hits your back end they are at fault no matter what the reason is. This would mean they are to close to you, cars should be 4 seconds behind a commercial vechicle |

IMOH I would say that the person behind you was at fault, because they should allow you some space for such a problem knowing the problem can arise. |

Yes you would be at fault. You are the person in control of the truck so are resposible for makeing sure the truck does not roll back. It is considerate of drivers behind you to leave a little room but it is not a requirement. |

Yes, since you were moving and the other vehicle was not, you will be at-fault.
If you roll back on a hill, your driving technique is poor. If you don't know how to do a hill-start properly, please go back to driving school and learn. |

Yes you would be at fault - you are driving the car and you are responsible-you put the emergency break on- then put your foot on the gas and let the clutch out- while letting the park brake off-D |

Yes, you would be at fault for not maintaining control of your vehicle. My advice is that you start practicing holding hills with the clutch, just like everyone who lives in San Francisco and has a manual transmission... in an emergency you can use the hand brake to hold the vehicle while you disengage the clutch into gear, but this is much harder on both the clutch, and transmission. |

I know what it's like having people pull RIGHT up to your bumper. I've got a fault automatic, mine will roll back. I've actually sat at a light till he guy backed off.
If it's less than a foot, My opinion would be that it's the other guy's fault for being to close, but I don't think law agrees with me.
Just say you were rear ended. |

What, what, what??

It depends on your truck (a tractor trailer?)...there is such a thing as a vehicle following you or being too close to you and out of your sight (positioned where you can see them in your rearviews). Be as honest and as detailed as you can on your letter to your insurance company. Yes, write them with a full explaination. Let the insurance companies fight it out--thats what they are paid for. Hopefully you had a distance sticker on the back of your truck. It depends on the DOT/MVD laws of your State. Good luck! |

When I got my CDL's i was told to stop when I could still see the pavement underneath the rear tires of another vehicle. There should be no less than three feet between you and the next car. If you did roll back on an incline then there should not be any problems. If this has already occurred then the following to close law should apply to the vehicle behind you. |
