Of course. A pile-up is, by definition, a failure to keep a safe
distance. :-)

My son was hit from behind and 3 cars behind him shunted. The
police blamed my son!! Fortunately the Insurance company didn't
agree!

I thought the driver behind was always at fault. Although I would
argue against that if it is soneone who has just pulled in front of
me. But I'm sure your son wouldn't do that!

Seems he was just tootling along just below the limit and they ran
into him. I have always heard
that anyone who runs into a car in front is at fault for not leaving
anough space between them. The insurance people say the the police
are talking nonsense and gave him a courtesy car immediately

Good for them. I don't know what the police are thinking about.
