Passing at the crest of a hill can be a negligent act that makes you liable.

On June 12^th, 2009 Donald Wallace was eastbound on Highway 34 in a Dodge Caravan when witnesses reported that he had stopped in the road just over the crest of a hill, Zachary Burch was also traveling Eastbound in his Jeep and rear-ended the van driven by Mr. Wallace. The accident resulted in the death of Shirley Wallace and the hospitalization of Mr. Burch and Mr. Wallace. The crash remains under investigation and charges are pending. The accident occurred in Henry County, Iowa.

I’ve posted on this before concerning stopping over the crest of a hill. Doing so can certainly be considered negligent conduct. Of course if you have no choice then you’d better get back to the crest of the hill to warn oncoming cars and trucks and motorcycles.
