  LIk one car after another jus banged into each other... eg, 5 cars in a row...
  
  Then whose fault is it leh?
  
  All should be covered by insurance rite? But i heard tat the last car is responsible for all the car infront....
  
  But i feel very bo hua leh... Lik is not the last car fault, but is actually the first car fault mah... Stop suddenly... Then other car behind too late to react, so bang into each other...
  
  Wat to u all think leh?

  According to the law, in the event of a chain collision, each car will be responsible for the car in front of it.

  i learnt one thing from accidents, always have ur camera phone, or digicam ready, after accident take pics of the car u damaged and damages incurred by ur car as well, this way, the mathafucka whom u banged wont goto the workshop and tell them to add additional repair costs to their cars when they werent caused by u...i learnt this the hard way...knn...

  In the eyes of TP, if u never tailgate, u will have ample time to react so as not to crash into the car in front

  erm, what happens when there's little gap infront of you, and suddenly a car cuts into yr lane. Then the front guy brakes hard n there's a 5-6 car collision and it's becos of the guy cutting into yr lane. What happens then?

  so long as the person at the back bangs the car in front, regardless of who causes it, the blame is always the person who bangs the car in front. because he/she tailgates the vehicle. that's why the school always teaches us to leave a car length of space in front for every 10 km/h of speed increment. (correct me if i'm wrong)
