Well Rich, that's not 100% accurate. Sometimes they'll ticket the person who pulled out for "failure to yield". But, you're right, they'll ticket the person hitting them usually for following too close. How do you follow someone too closely who just pulled right out in front of you??? Dunno, but they do it... crazy...
