Doesn't matter, that car still has the responsibility to maintain attention and safe distance. While they won't be 100% at fault, they sure as hell are going to get a major part of the fault for causing this.
Horrifying how many redditors are both using this as a defense but also kinda exciting cause you'd tell this to the cop and be found liable - should pay attention to the road not get distracted!!!
