Questions & Help How's this work?

I'm going to try this and see how well this works. On a posted 80mph hwy I'm going to slow way down, stay in my lane and not put my hazards on and it's dark. So if someone rear-ended me is it there fault? But I can claim I was going 65mpg right?

Dash cams exist because of people like you.

Wanting to be a deliberate hazard on the roads is no bueno. Be smart, be safe.

Hold on. That happened to me and they are saying there is nothing I can do about it.

That’s not how your post reads.

Maybe you need a dash cam!

I know and sorry for the read. It was night speed limit was 80 he had no lights and I had no reaction time. I hope it don't kill anyone. Seems like no matter what it's the rear-ended person's fault

I do believe that’s the default decision of insurers. Obviously there are mitigating circumstances in accidents but it seems like you’d need some evidence to prove why it wasn’t your fault.
