You are quite correct. In the 3 car accident described, the center car 
rear-ended and shoved into the front car would not and should not be charged 
with anything. In my jurisdiction, the rear vehicle driver would be charged 
with negligent or careless driving in most cases. A high rate of speed for 
the rear vehicle might change the charge to reckless driving in my 
jurisdiction.
