In CA even if you get pushed into a car in front of you (pile up) you are in charge of damage to that car as is the guy behind you in charge of your damage and so on. So if you are a dick and you BACK into a car, you can blame it on them.

My first car "accident" went just like that. I was behind a lady who was in the right turn only lane (because I was turning right). The lane, right as you're turning on to the other street, has a small median separating you from the road you're turning off of. She gets to that point, puts the car in reverse, hits me, then yells at me like I hit her (even though I'd been stopped waiting on her to turn for at least a second). Since it was my first accident (and I was only 16), I didn't think to call the police or anything to get a report, even though she admitted herself that she backed up to try to get out of the right turn lane.

So...first car accident was my fault because some woman was an idiot.
