Careful

By me. - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while driving, I slowed down and made sure I safely went by a pedestrian, and in the process rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Thats why you should also pay attention to other cars.

Must have been a very attractive pedestrian to distract you that much. ;)

Well here in California, the law clearly states you are supposed to stop and let the pedestrian finish crossing the street before you keep going. So you deserve it.

You're making two assumptions, both of which could be mistaken: The first is that this took place in California (could have been anywhere). The second is that the pedestrian was crossing the street (I got the impression that the pedestrian was going the same direction as OP, probably on a street without sidewalks).

Oh, but your conclusion is correct (OP deserved it), despite your faulty premises--unless somebody cuts you off and slams on the brakes, the person doing the rear-ending is always at fault.

Defensive driving IS being cautious...

I'm sure he was watching the pedestrian and saying "DAT ASS" when this happened.

You can't do that if it's a two lane road. Also, you have to be going more than 15 mph under the speed limit to get a ticket. But it is still only aggressive drivers, not cautious drivers that need a defensive driving course.
