no, suddenly stopping on highway in fast lane is still bad driving and you will be at fault for accident

same with suddenly stopping self-driving bus in lane dedicated ONLY for trams and buses where trams have priority anyway, tram is pretty much never at fault, because it has right of way

The context was

> If I have to slam the brakes on to avoid hitting a pedestrian

In that case you will not be at fault.

I’m not sure about Swedish road rules, but I don’t see any note about it being a dedicated lane

check other comments in this thread with quotes from local tram union boss, I copied it from Swedish newspaper
