It really depends, can they prove that?
A lawyer could walk in and say that they cant prove he was distracted and if this crazy guy in a Hummer hadnt swerved out and smoked him he'd have stopped in time.
If distracted or dangerous driving doesnt stick then the guy in the Hummer can go from 'Hero who saved kids' to 'crazy who swerved in traffic to randomly hit another motorist' in a hurry.
I guess it depends on how it all shakes out. Maybe the guy in the Pontiac will own up to being distracted, take the blame and just be thankful no one was hurt. But it might be cheaper and easier for him to lawyer up and leave Hummer-guy hanging.
