In fact, this is a very common thing in daily traffic accidents. As for the rear end accident in road driving, it can not be regarded as the whole responsibility of the rear car, or the traffic police should make the responsibility division according to the specific situation.
1、 If the two vehicles are running in the same lane, the front vehicle suddenly brakes in case of an accident, and the rear vehicle fails to brake, the responsibility must be the rear vehicle. According to the road traffic safety law, a safe distance shall be kept from the vehicle in front when driving. In this case, either the speed is too fast, or the safety distance is not enough. The rear car should take full responsibility.
2、 If there is an illegal situation in front of the car, causing a rear end accident, the front car should also bear the responsibility:
1. If the front car changes the lane in violation of regulations, such as the compaction line, the front car is responsible for the rear end collision
2. The front car overtakes illegally, such as from the right side. If the front car suddenly stops at this time, the rear car will certainly not respond. The front car is responsible.
3. The front car deliberately pushes back on the road, drives the bucket car, and intentionally slams the brakes. In this case, the front car must be responsible.
It's better to install a dash cam on our car. After an accident, it can restore the truth and avoid the other party's meddling. It's also very beneficial for the traffic police to divide their responsibilities. It can record the other party's illegal behaviors and prove their innocence.
In case of a traffic accident, it is necessary to call the police at the first time, protect the scene and take photos to retain evidence, and deal with it according to the responsibilities of traffic division, especially that this kind of rear end accident is not all the responsibility of the rear vehicle.
So, how far should the rear car keep from the front car?
We can refer to the "two second rule" in the popular defensive driving courses abroad: in the driving process, the distance between the rear car and the front car should be kept at least more than two seconds, so that we can leave enough time for reaction and braking when the front car is in emergency braking.
The method of the two second rule is: find a reference at the roadside. After the current car has driven the reference, start to read the second in your heart immediately. Within two seconds, if your car has passed the reference, it means that the distance is not enough. After two seconds, your car will pass the reference, which means that the distance is relatively safe!
Next, according to the 'two second rule', let's calculate the minimum safe following distance at different speeds:
The speed is 40km / h, 11.11m/s, and the following distance is 22m.
The speed is 60km / h, 16.67m/s, and the following distance is 33m.
The speed is 80km / h, 22.22m/s, and the following distance is 44m.
The speed is 100km / h, 27.77m/s, and the following distance is 54m.
The speed is 120km / h, 33.33m/s, and the following distance is 66m.
Of course, this two second rule is the minimum safety distance. In fact, considering that the reaction time of people is different, it is necessary to extend the distance properly. Therefore, the confirmation of the distance between vehicles on the highway is based on safety considerations. In addition, it should be noted that in rainy and foggy weather, the safe following time should be greatly extended!
Finally, explain the necessity of installing a dash cam! In many cases, we often meet the owner of a bucket car, and perform the act of "leaving the car" to you, and repeatedly brake in front of you. At this time, if there is a rear end, it's not your fault. You can take the dash cam and tell him "dangerous driving"!
