Sounds like you rear-ended them. Are you the same person who had the driver ahead "Brake aggressively" a couple of weeks ago? If the front of your car strikes the back of another and they are not in reverse, 99.99% of the time you are At Fault.
An accident is usually the fault of the driver who was violating the law. However, other circumstances may apply. It is illegal to go through a yield sign and not yield even if you then slam on the brakes. Still, something else might apply. Courts exist to take care of such situations.
Vehicles on an On Ramp must always, always YIELD before merging into existing traffic on a highway! Additionally, cars at the back (rear) of the line of incoming cars on an On Ramp MUST allow the first vehicle in line to safely merge before any other vehicles attempt to merge. Even if the first merging vehicle is slow, other merging vehicles should wait their turns.
right before a intersection
You're the one who yields when you're merging into another lane.
According to Canadian traffic law, merging traffic and traffic flow have the same right of way. Those in the main traffic flow must attempt to make space, and merging traffic is required to be going the posted speed to make merging easier. You are not allowed to stop in a merge lane except in extreme circumstance. A merge is NOT the same as a yield.
The Difference between a merge and a yield is, when your merging, you are entering oncoming traffic with out stopping, and yielding s letting the traffic pass you and then going when the coast is clear.
Yes, it is true when you approach a yield sign while trying to enter or merge onto another road, the traffic already on that road has the right of way. The cars merging must wait until merging into traffic is safe to do. It is also important that merging cars WAIT for their turn... the first car in line merges in first.
it does not hold beyond the elastic limit or yield point or when a material becomes non linear

If you work it beyond the yield point then you raise the yield point in a process called strain hardening
increased...because the specimen is strain hardened due to plastic deformation.
