Some states have a "contributory negligence" law, where, if you're found to be at least 1% responsible for an accident, your own insurance is on the hook for your damages. Obviously, in this video, the stopped car would be at least that much at fault.

I have super bright LEDs on my bike that flash for a few seconds and then go solid when I hit the brake lever or pedal. Even once I'm stopped somewhere, if I see a car coming up behind me, I hit the brakes again to wake him up.
