Expensive breakfast run!

No. If you run into someone from behind, it's entirely your fault. If you can't stop in time, you're going too fast or too close. Doesn't matter what the guy in front did (unless he runs into a stationary car or something and stops dead)

You know the rules about logic in these parts

I'm sure there must be different rules for pile ups though. The guy most "at fault" is the second guy. First guy brakes hard, second guy could not stop in time - BOOM!

I don't know, I'm sure the courts have some way of determining liability for the purposes of insurance payouts. I don't think the last guy to join the pile up would pay everyone's bill - that wouldn't make sense.

If it could be proven that the last guy shunted the car in front of him into the car in front of that....

but in a case like this, generally the insurers will go knock-for-knock.
The guy in front's cover will try and claim off the guy behind him, but after that it gets difficult. So each insurer will likely cover their own damage.

Agree!

When I first moved to SA had a boss with a Porsche 959 who complained that the insurance was 9k / month. He traded it in for a jag, and he owned a niche market insurance company.

This was 17 years ago

Must ask, are you dead sure it was a Porsha 959? The original 1st Hypercar. Incredibly advanced for it's time. Limited production, under 350 units made.

Ok, maybe not. What high end Porsche was out in 2001 / 2002? It was brand spanking new and wouldn’t let the other directors park near him

Hot property Porsha that period would be the 996-generation 911. Specifically the Turbo model.

That shape was also know as the one with "fried egg" headlights.
