Sure, that's what the driver's ed classes drill in, but it's not true that it's always the driver's fault.

The German law still has some notion of whether a driver could have prevented an accident or not. Not all situations are the fault of the driver.

Extreme example: If somebody runs into your car on the Autobahn that's not your fault.

I've seen that happen (on a 4-lane hwy): a drunk who apparently tried to jump under a bus, but reacted so late he nearly missed it; as it were, he stumbled into the side (and rebounded to the wayside). Quite improbable, yet there we were.
