I don't see how you can be hit in the rear and it be your fault.

You can't be 100% at fault, but could be 50% at fault. At least that's how it is here. Too many rules.

I don't see how you could be 1% at fault here... He was waiting at a traffic light!!! What was he supposed to do? Predict the future and drive away to avoid being hit in the rear?

No, if you are stopped you are 100% NOT at fault. But, here if you are moving a bit, you can be 50% at fault if the police say you slammed your brakes on or something. It is pretty stupid.

I was rear ended a few weeks ago, the guy was going about 50km/h and it did little to no damage, I was surprised how tough this car is.
