This accident can be said to be a relatively common type of traffic accident. According to most people's understanding, after a rear-end collision occurs, the vehicle behind is usually fully responsible. This is mainly because our country has a very strict law. Regulations, that is, a safe following distance.
Let’s first look at the regulations on safe following distance in traffic regulations . Under normal circumstances, when the vehicle speed is more than 100 kilometers per hour, the following distance must be more than 100 meters; when the vehicle speed is less than 40 kilometers per hour , the distance between following the car should also be kept at least 30 meters.
According to the actual situation, when driving in the city, few drivers strictly abide by the safe following distance. This means that after many rear-end collisions, the car behind will basically be judged to be fully responsible. But the regulations are also fair. Not all rear-end collisions are entirely to blame. There are at least 4 situations where the car behind you is not entirely to blame, or even not to blame.
Case 1.
If the car in front accidentally hits the car in front while changing lanes, turning, making a U-turn, etc. while pressing the solid line, the car behind will not be held responsible, because the vehicle going straight has the right of way priority .
If the car in front wants to change lanes, turn, or make a U-turn, it must ensure that there are no safety risks behind it.
The second situation.
The car in front slows down and presses the solid line to change lanes. If the car behind fails to avoid in time and hits the vehicle in front and also presses the solid line, in this case, both cars are responsible.
The third situation.
During normal driving, a vehicle suddenly forced its way into the left lane, and the vehicle behind failed to avoid it in time and hit the vehicle in front. As long as the vehicle in front has not completely entered this lane, the vehicle behind will basically not be responsible.
But if the latter wants to be blameless in this situation, he must also provide relevant evidence. First, it must be proven that the vehicle in front was forcibly blocking the road; secondly, the vehicle behind hit the vehicle because it failed to avoid the situation in time, and did not actively hit the vehicle in front.
The fourth situation.
If a vehicle overtakes from the right and the car behind hits the car in front because someone else did not hit it in time, in this case, the car in front is basically to blame. Because our country’s traffic regulations clearly stipulate that vehicles are not allowed to overtake from the right side, otherwise it is illegal.
There are a few things that need attention while driving.
If you are driving a car normally, no matter which lane a car is forcing its way in, do not turn the steering wheel in panic. If at this time, you avoid a blocked vehicle and cause yourself to collide with another vehicle, then the liability for the accident will be divided separately.
Therefore, when you suddenly encounter a car that is forcibly blocking the car, if you cannot ensure the safety of the rear and side lanes, it is best not to suddenly change direction or slow down, and just hit it at normal speed. Anyway, the other party is fully responsible.
Many people have a mentality when driving, that is, "going straight is the best". As long as I drive straight normally, others have to give way to me. If you drive with this kind of mentality in real situations, it is actually very dangerous.
At intersections without traffic lights, we must also follow the "yield to the right principle". Because the cabs of motor vehicles in our country are all on the left side, there will be a large blind spot on the right side. If there is an oncoming vehicle on your right, no matter whether the other party is going straight or turning, it is best to let the other party go first.
By doing this, you are not only protecting yourself, but also respecting others. Driving has great safety risks, and you must not drive based on your will.
