NOPE, not in Texas,
If you are hit from behind it is because the car behind you is following too close and the car that actually makes or causes physical contact is the one doing the reckless driving. I will hit the brakes at a yellow light period. "Don't follow too close now ya hear!"
There is an exception being that you could be impeding traffic but in that case the offending car would have to have pulled out in front of you. However if you are both going the same direction and you hit the car in front of you, you'd better have insurance.
