Whos fault would it be if...

[Qu3]

Person A crashed in to the back of Person B but Person B had 2 out of 3 brake lights out?

I'm moved to Birmingham and I'm increasing seeing morons on the road with 2 out of 3 brake lights out. It annoys the hell out of me because really its an accident waiting to happen to be honest.

Anyway who's fault would it be? I thought it would be Person A but if I was Person A I think I'd end up suing Person B?

Thoughts?

Yeah I see your point about proving it. That would difficult.

In some respects distance doesn't matter if you don't notice the car in front is braking due to lack of brake lights, only that your getting nearer and nearer then you could be a safe distance away and still crash. I'm say as some cars brakes are not separate from tail lights so at night this situation could arise.

Anywho..I'll have to find some else to ponder about on the way to work as I'm stuck in traffic now
