My relative was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago, luckily he wasn't injured at all,problem is that, while he was driving , the car up in front jam brake and he accidentally smashed the back of the car.
Under these circumstances, can we tell who is at fault? -
Confirm ur relative!!!!!! No Doubts abt it.........Reason being he is considered to be tailgating or daydreaming.....so he is at fault
-
Alright , thanx , any more views and opinions? Kindly share them with me please, thanz

CONFIRM your relative. Didn't he knows the safety distance rule?
If your relative have kept applying the safety distance rule, no accident is to happened.
Traffice Police will either tell your relative he/she did not keep the safety distance or is speeding & cannot stop in time.
Hope this clears up everything. -
Yup. even jam brake, with a distance of 100m, i think any car travelling within speed limit can still take time to horn, lower down windows, sweve car to the left, show middle finger and wind up window..Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:My relative was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago, luckily he wasn't injured at all,problem is that, while he was driving , the car up in front jam brake and he accidentally smashed the back of the car.

your relative's at a major disadvantage. I'd say that if it goes to a police report, there's a 95% chance of him at the losing end. It'll be argued that in any case, he should have kept a safety distance behind the car in front.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:My relative was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago, luckily he wasn't injured at all,problem is that, while he was driving , the car up in front jam brake and he accidentally smashed the back of the car.

My advise will be to settle it privately. Don't make a police report. There'll be points deduction involved. -
obviously ur relative la. if going on a straight road. front to rear collision, sure behind fault one. cos fail to keep safe distance, tailgate.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:My relative was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago, luckily he wasn't injured at all,problem is that, while he was driving , the car up in front jam brake and he accidentally smashed the back of the car.

good luck! True. Though at 100m away, I don't think I will horn. -
Well, unless the front car driver admitted that it was his fault. Then the whole issue will be difference.... Under normal circumstances, normally, the back driver will lose out.... however, I do see cases of back drivers winning the case... and claimed the front driver's insurance...
cheers -
Yeah... hit the rear of a Mercedes once along Newton Road.Originally posted by Praetorian111:Well, unless the front car driver admitted that it was his fault.

I just came out of a minor road there, still in left most lane but didn't have time to drop back and leave safety dist yet. He suddenly jammed on his breaks in clear weather, with no traffic in front of him.
Lucky he admitted, he ws looking at some documents and one fell... He bent down to pick it up and hit his brakes harder than he wanted to.
His insurance paid out. -

LOL!! i was laughing the way u typed.. LOL yeah true.. yeah man.. tailgating is an disadvantage... do not try to slipstream...!!! -
That has nothing to do with stupid or smart. It has to do with having enough character to admit to a mistake and take responsibility for it.Originally posted by ben0704:ppl drive mercedes mah. got money. if most ppl, won be so stupid to admit one.
Quite sad to hear people say things like that. No wonder as a nation, Singapore has a long, long, long way to go. -
Heh.... actually... according to my history lecturers... Singapore isn't even a nation yet... hehe....Originally posted by Bloop...:That has nothing to do with stupid or smart. It has to do with having enough character to admit to a mistake and take responsibility for it.

But really... most people might not have the guts to admit... cos of the Singaporean mentality of 'saving face'...
See whether next time he'll still say that when he drives big cars....

I think it's more than saving face. Singaporeans have been raised to do the right thing not because it's the right thing to do, but because you'll get in trouble if you don't.Originally posted by LH83:Heh.... actually... according to my history lecturers...

That's why we have an island full of people who will scratch someone else's car if no one is looking, hog lanes on the road, not signal even knowing that there are other cars behind them, not admitting to a mistake if they think they can get away with it, etc... Just because they feel they can get away with it. -
your relative's fault,
as long as you bang people's car from behind, you are surely at fault,
unless the car in front of you engage reverse gear and bang into you
anyway your relative tailgating skills damn sucks big time, tell him go home sleep -
Oh did u juz mentioned "accidentally smashed"?Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:My relative was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago, luckily he wasn't injured at all,problem is that, while he was driving , the car up in front jam brake and he accidentally smashed the back of the car.

Any car in front which jammed brake will win the case. Absolute. Think like the driver in front dude. Even if he did it on purpose, he still, can get away, period.
And btw, FERRARIman, @ 100m away u do that, its quite dumb actually. u might be da one hitting into other cars.
or even a bus. haha! -
