So, as long as they are within that they are clear so most likely would be 50/50.
This above deals with vehicles while they are in motion...a stopped vehicle is not in motion. If the first vehicle slips backwards then it could be considered "reverse while unsafe"...I believe that ICBC would likely split the responsibility. A safe driver would not end up too closely behind the 1st vehicle. The road test standard says to stop between 2 and 9 metres behind. If you can just see the bottom of the tyres of the car ahead, you are about 1 car length behind and that would be the minimum distance for me to stop.
