yep you are, thats why i dont like alot of NZ'ers driving aswell they wait to the last second to brake, and brake hard, they assume their brakes are always in top condition then when a general failure occurs they look to blame others; now in the future if you see traffic slowing start slowing a mile away atleased if you find out the brakes arnt working you can always engine brake or use the hand brake

WOF has nothing to do with it.
For sake of argument, take insurance companies out of the picture, imagine neither party is insured.
Also for sake of argument, imagine the parties are switched, you are the one who got run into they are the one with the brake failure.
Who do you now say should pay, you who got hit, or they who hit you!

Of course the owner of the stationary car that you hit should pay.
It is a privilege to be rear-ended by you. That privilege needs to be paid for.

maybe not you / if you can prove that the car was well maintained and the failure was unforseen , then maybe an act of god !

What a dumbarse. You were either going too fast or not keeping the appropriate space between you and the other vehicle. Another possibility i you were on drugs. Only you are responsible so face up to the fact.

No, it's clearly the fault of the driver of the car that you crashed into. They should have accelerated when you failed to stop to avoid the collision.

To be fair, wouldn't you be if you had to live in Gore!

I thought the reason insurance 'costs so much these days' is because of earthquakes, tsunami's and tornadoes!

That to, but as you know everyone pays for the odd moron that abuses insurance on things that should just not happen through stupidity / abusing that not happen.
