Question:
Who would be at fault if I were in a roll back accident? I drive a truck with a manual transmission and sometimes roll backwards (always less than a foot) going up a hill from a dead stop. If I were to roll back into the car behind me, attempting to start rolling foward in first gear, would I be at fault.

How fast do you enter a freeway on a straight clear road with a distance of 500 feet?
they guy behind you is at fault since it was the back of your truck and his front he was to close to youJust tell the cop they ran into the back of you.
Yes, you would be at fault for not maintaining control of your vehicle. My advice is that you start practicing holding hills with the clutch, just like everyone who lives in San Francisco and has a manual transmission... in an emergency you can use the hand brake to hold the vehicle while you disengage the clutch into gear, but this is much harder on both the clutch, and transmission.
Yes you would be at fault. You are the person in control of the truck so are resposible for makeing sure the truck does not roll back. It is considerate of drivers behind you to leave a little room but it is not a requirement.
Is there a list of motor carriers safety, to see who is best or worst?
It depends on your truck (a tractor trailer?)...there is such a thing as a vehicle following you or being too close to you and out of your sight (positioned where you can see them in your rearviews). Be as honest and as detailed as you can on your letter to your insurance company. Yes, write them with a full explaination. Let the insurance companies fight it out--thats what they are paid for. Hopefully you had a distance sticker on the back of your truck. It depends on the DOT/MVD laws of your State. Good luck!does the silver cross explorer car seat fit a VW Golf?
IMOH I would say that the person behind you was at fault, because they should allow you some space for such a problem knowing the problem can arise.Would you stop for church bus?

Yes you would be at fault - you are driving the car and you are responsible-you put the emergency break on- then put your foot on the gas and let the clutch out- while letting the park brake off-DWhen I got my CDL's i was told to stop when I could still see the pavement underneath the rear tires of another vehicle. There should be no less than three feet between you and the next car. If you did roll back on an incline then there should not be any problems. If this has already occurred then the following to close law should apply to the vehicle behind you.
I'm not sure about all states but here in MI whoever hits the rear is at fault. So if the car behind you hits your back end they are at fault no matter what the reason is. This would mean they are to close to you, cars should be 4 seconds behind a commercial vechicle

If it's less than a foot, My opinion would be that it's the other guy's fault for being to close, but I don't think law agrees with me.
Just say you were rear ended.

If you roll back on a hill, your driving technique is poor. If you don't know how to do a hill-start properly, please go back to driving school and learn.
