I had blacked out tails on my 745 and was stopped due to traffic one day. Semi came up behind me and stopped. I watched him and saw him jerk so i braced for impact. His coworker in the semi behind him rear-ended him and caused him to hit me. A 3/4 mile back from where we were, there was a cop on the radar just looking for speeders. We were all outside talking and the at-fault driver said that he was in fact speeding and got the signal from the cop to slow down. As he passed the cop he said that he looked in the mirror to check and when he looked back up he saw brake lights and couldn't stop in time.

Moral of my story....whether it be his tails being blacked out or not. The semi driver saw mine and stopped while the other was being a careless driver. The driver that rear-ended OP'er was being careless one way or another and was at fault. Just be a safe driver and you won't rear end people
