Nope.

If you slam on your brakes to stop short - 'lock up your tires' was the term used above - then YOU are the one who is doing the reckless driving. YOU are the one not in control of your vehicle. YOU are the one impeding the right of way. YOU are the one who is primarily at fault. YOU are the one that 'causes physical contact' not the other driver. I'd make sure you were thoroughly investigated to see if you're part of a swoop and squat scam.

Your pal,
