I knew the bad-faith argument would make an appearance sooner or later.
The driver is entirely responsible for causing the collision. Full stop.

One is moral and legal, the other is practical. You can be completely blameless and still have made choices that didn't help your odds of avoiding harm from someone else's fu-k-up.
