Too fast for conditions? Too fast because someone turned into him is more like it... it is like if a car pulls out (making a right turn into your lane) just in front of you, and you rear end him, is it YOUR fault?
It depends. If the car gets out and square in the lane, you'd have a hard time proving anything except that you hit him in the rear. That would make it your fault. One has to remember that LEGAL and RIGHT are not always the same thing.
