I doubt it technically would, sure they would get cited for it but you still need to be a certain distance behind a car and you need to be watching traffic, you don't need to see break lights to notice a car slowing down.

Also it has to be impossible to prove because once you get rear ended your breaklights probably won't be working anymore......

It is an interesting question though.

The cops saw our accident take place as it was happening and basically told us it was completely the azns fault.
