In no case would sudden braking be the cause of a rear-end collision. It's always the fault of the driver behind.

True, and I'm with you, though I'd bet every dollar I have that, if people routinely randomly slammed on their brakes we'd have a whole lot more rear end collisions. We don't expect people to do that, and when it does happen it's rare.
