I think you might want to re-read your Traffic code.
Whatever country I've been too, they all stipulate that:
You should ALWAYS be in full control of your vehicle. Hence, you should ALWAYS be able to avoid any obstacle in front of your car (Car that stops, people that cross,...)
You will systematically be blamed if you hit anything IN FRONT of you on the road (unless someone else hits you in the back during the same accident).
I'm not saying it's fair BTW, I'm saying it's the law.
