If you can’t see ahead on a curve, slow down.
If you’re unable to stop in time, and hit a stopped car, the accident is your fault. Same is true if you hit a pedestrian or bicyclist on the shoulder of the road.
When you “used to drive trucks and when they’re fully loaded it takes a while to make a panic stop under the best conditions”, then you slow down so you can stop in time. If you don’t, you and kill someone, its murder.
"...the accident is your fault..."
