So, you're gonna bust my chops like tabs. I'll make this assumption then, you're in tabs class.
Back to the discussion. There is no way to accurately determine whether a car in line is moving or not. Doesn't have to be moving much. This is very subjective issue. There are so many scenarios that the default settlement is each pays for the one in front of him.
Settlements vary according to testimony if it gets that far.
Here is a question/answer page with a couple of attorneys weighing in. I like the last one as probably being what happens most:
"Yes you must keep a safe enough distance to stop if need be (when stopped as well). I usually go after everyone behind my client and let the chips fall where they may."
Note: I added the words in the parenthesis.
