That's not the point I was making. i didn't say anything about running into the back of it.
The point I was making is if the truck doesn't slow down, yet I see the parked emergency vehicle and decide at the last second to do the right thing, then i'm causing issues for the cars behind (not that I would bother slamming on the brakes in that situation, just that some people might).
Same applies if coming round a tight bend, or with corners where there are trees etc blocking line of sight. It's not always possible to see these pulled over vehicles until you are right up on them. And that's the type of situation where you cause more problems than the rule solves, cause you get people panicking and slamming on the brakes.
