The car in the back is usually At Fault in a rear end collision. The only exception would be if the car in front were backing up.

The car in back is at fault for hitting you ,but if you are pushed into the car in front of you you are at fault for hitting that car.

If driver A runs a red light but driver B has no driver license but stays at the scene of the accident and both get traffic violations who is at fault?

The person who caused the collision is at fault. If someone ran a red light he/she gets the points on his/her license and his insurance gets to pay the damage. The unlicensed driver just gets the ticket to force him/her to get a license.


If I don't have a license and I at fault in an accident?

States will difer, however, you can be cited for not having a license (obviously), but just because you were not licensed does not automatically make you at fault in an accident. For example if you were sitting still at a red light and rear ended, driving through a green light at intersection and someone runs a red light and hits you, or a drunk driver hits you head on, in your lane-NO, you are not at fault, you just need a good attorney. Good Luck
