How was someone unaware he was being pursued resposible?
Like I said I suppose I had been doing an 80 in a 70 and a cop decided to flip a u-turn and go get me in my shiney red Porsche. He miscalculates oncoming traffic and gets hit by a semi and killed. Am I responsible?
According to that analogy this Pelican should be ticketed for speeding and inciting an accident because he came up on a truck too fast and forced the driver to make a bad decision. He had to be speeding to catch the truck.
