If it's the Sloth Coaster in a car without any lights on in the rain, in the left lane which I was trying to use to pbutt a line of vehicles that were being held up by another Sloth Coaster also with no lights on, you should slam on the brakes with three car lengths in front of you and yell at your rearview mirror. What is it they don't get about the need to have headlights and taillights on in the rain? Unless I drive with high-beams on or use a TIC, they're very hard to see in the dark.
You could put the transmission into neutral and let the car be pushed into the vehicle in front. Unfortunately, you'll be forced backward and then forward again, so the risk of injury increases and you'll have two areas of vehicle damage, one of which is to the engine. It's unlikely that without an electronic braking system you would be able to reapply enough brake force in time to stop your car from hitting the one in front. A better method is to move forward so that you're bumper-to-fender with the vehicle in front of you. When the vehicle behind you hits, the secondary forward impact will be minimised.
