Rear End Collision Reality

1
Rear end collisions are a type of vehicular
accident where the car hits the vehicle in front
of them from behind.
2
There are many reasons for such an accident to
occur, such as an inattentive driver, tailgating,
panic stops, poor traction because of wet
pavement or because the pavement is damaged.
3
A rear end collision can also occur on train
tracks, where a train crashes into the other.
4
One example of a rear end collision is when the
car in front suddenly hits the brakes causing the
car behind them to hit them from the rear because
they have no warning.
5
The rule of thumb when it comes to the rear end
collision of two vehicles that have the same
structural design if a car is traveling at 30
MPH and hits a stationary vehicle, it would be
the same as hitting a solid the wall at 15 MPH.
6
What are the typical consequences when a car is
involved in rear end collision? Just like with
other vehicular accidents that occur at moderate
speed, the common consequence is whiplash.
7
For those who are involved in severe accidents,
more serious injuries can occur.
8
Passengers who are seated in the rear of the
vehicle arent protected as much when it comes to
a rear end collision and may suffer from
extensive injuries even death.
9
In the case of policing and insurance, it is
always the driver of the car who caused the rear
end collision who is deemed to be at fault due to
either inattentiveness or driving too close to
the car in front.
10
The only exception to this is when the vehicle in
front has his gear in reverse thus causing the
rear end collision.
11
The driver who caused the rear end collision can
be held liable for all damages caused to the
vehicle and any injuries suffered by the occupant
of the vehicle which has been rear ended.
12
Rear end collision can be minimized as long as
drivers pay attention to the road, the condition
of their vehicle, and their driving skills as
well.
13
The best way to avoid a rear end collision is to
practice safe driving.
