as for your accident amber means preppare to stop if it is safe to do so, RED means stop , this is why we have 3 coulours not just 2 colours for stop and go so if you had bothered to use your mirrors before stopping then you probably wouldnt have ended up with a car up your backside
as for lights been on , if you cant see a car coming in broad daylight then you shouldnt be on the road in the first place
we need jaywalking laws like america , if pedestrians knew they didnt have the law %100 on their side they may take more care crossing roads instead of just walking out blindly into the road and been surprised when they get hit by a car

If someone runs into the back of your vehicle it is their fault regardless. The vehicle behind should have been back far enough to stop without hitting you should you stop in an emergency.
It could even be argued that if you are stopped on a hill and your car rolls back as you set off and hits the car behind it is their fault for being so close. Of course that would depend on the roll back distance.
Jaywalking pedestrians are a danger to everyone. Some will turn and look straight at you then step off the pavement almost daring you to hit them.
