The car in front can brake for any reason, like getting something in the

Chummy boy behind is guilty of dangerous driving whatever he claims.

So from a UK dashcam programme on last night, car in outside lane of
dual carriageway stops for no apparent reason, white van behind car
manages to stop, lorry behind van doesn't manage to stop, pushes van
into the car injuring chap in the van.

Who was prosecuted, the car, van or lorry driver?

Depends on the road.

If its a clearway then the car for stopping when it shouldn't unless
there was a reason that wasn't apparent.

Possibly the van as he hadn't been using his mirrors to know the idiot
behind was too close and hadn't allowed enough stopping distance.

The lorry driver for being an idiot.

The van/lorry driver for not complying with CCTV laws for a dash cam on
a works van/lorry? You are supposed to register CCTV systems used on
business premises but I know of no court cases to say what's legal.
