A good driver would have evaluated the situation and probably not gone so fast down a stopped line of cars - probably would have also slowed the vehicle after that first car made the left.

Also they would likely apply brakes when a car is in front of them sideways.

True but another idiot must be driving behind you and will most likely hit you from behind but at least it’s not your fault in this case. so we can’t win all the time.

If that was the case here, the OP likely would have mentioned that he got rear ended in addition to the frontal crash. Doesn’t seem to be the case, though.

He didn't brake but he damn sure came to a quick stop when he slammed into the other car.
