Is rear-end collision the responsibility of the rear car? In these cases, the car is not responsible
There are many reasons for traffic accidents, so in a rear-end collision, the front and rear cars are responsible for each other, and the rear car cannot be fully responsible by default.
In these cases:
The vehicle in front bears the primary responsibility
1. The front car reverses and rolls
If the rear vehicle is in normal driving state, the rear-end collision is caused by the car in front of you slipping or reversing, and the car in front is responsible for this traffic accident.
After the incident, we must pay attention to keeping evidence such as the dash cam to avoid the rear car being "fully responsible". If the vehicle behind causes damage to another person or other vehicle by avoiding the vehicle in front, the vehicle behind is still responsible for the accident.
2. The vehicle in front forcibly changes lanes and merges
If the vehicle in front of the vehicle forcibly changes lanes, causing the rear vehicle to be too late to avoid and causing a rear-end collision, the vehicle in front is mainly responsible.
In this case, don't slam the steering wheel! If the rear car causes a traffic accident due to lane change and avoidance, the loss will be borne by the rear car!
3. The front car is driven by the line
The car in front violated the traffic regulations and pressed the line, and the normal traffic flow was affected by occupying two lanes, resulting in a rear-end collision caused by the car in front. In the event of a rear-end collision in a traffic jam, the vehicle behind is still liable for compensation.
4. Make a U-turn in front of the car
If the two vehicles are driving side by side, if the outside vehicle suddenly turns around, and the rear vehicle does not have time to avoid the traffic accident, the U-turn vehicle shall be responsible for the accident. This kind of U-turn of the car in front belongs to the turn, and when the "turn meets straight" accident, it is generally the turning or U-turn vehicle that is fully responsible.
5. Overtake on the right side of the rear car
If a rear-end collision occurs when the vehicle behind you overtakes from the right, the vehicle that has overtaken will be held responsible.
Do not change lanes at will
Minimize the situation of changing lanes at will, and try not to affect the normal traffic of the following vehicles as much as possible.
Pay attention to the distance between the rear car and the vehicle
When driving, always pay attention to the rearview mirror in the car to see if the vehicle behind you is too close to you. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the rearview mirror when braking suddenly, and properly control the braking force.
Stagger your line of sight
When you can't keep enough distance from the front and rear cars on a congested road, you can lean slightly to the left to give you a wider view and see the road ahead, so as to avoid being rear-ended by sudden braking.
Learn to kill with a point
If you find that the distance between the rear car is too close through the rearview mirror, you can use the method of tapping the brake to remind the rear car.
Pick up speed appropriately after changing lanes
When you finish changing lanes to overtake, speed up slightly to make room for the vehicles behind you on the premise of ensuring safety.
I do not have a car with a brake light malfunction
If you follow behind the car with faulty brake lights, without the reminder of the brake lights, you can only judge whether the vehicle in front is braking by the distance between the vehicles.
Don't get too close to the crossing
At the intersection, especially when the green light time is only less than five seconds left, if you speed up and follow the car, once there is a sudden situation in front of you and brake suddenly, it is difficult to avoid a rear-end collision.
Safety alerts
After a rear-end collision, turn on the double flashing lights immediately, and set up warning signs 50-100 meters behind the car to remind the rear car to detour.
Determine responsibility and report the crime
On the premise of ensuring Zhang's safety, take relevant photos of the scene of the incident for use in the judgment of responsibility. Then call the police and the traffic police will make a judgment on responsibility. According to the determination of the liability of the incident, the responsible party shall report the case to the insurance company where it has taken out. If one party is fully responsible and the other party is not liable, the full responsibility shall report the case to the insurance company; If both parties are liable, both parties must report the case to the insurance company.
Pay attention to leave relevant supporting materials, including on-site photos, traffic police responsibility judgments, etc., for follow-up claims.
Although the rear-end collision is not necessarily all the responsibility of the rear car
But in the process of driving
Drivers should still pay attention to maintaining a safe distance
Not only can you keep yourself safe
It can also avoid the occurrence of the incident~
