“Leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front, so that you can pull up safely if it suddenly stops”
Drivers must be familiar with the highway code, and if they fail to follow the car in front at a safe distance, they may cause an accident. If you have been hit from behind, and therefore experienced physical or mental damage, or financial loss, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland.
Hit from behind accidents is caused when a vehicle hits the vehicle in front of it, by either failing to react in a good time or not following a safe distance to the car in front. The highway code outlines that you must leave a gap in the front of your car that is the equivalent to the stopping distance following the current road conditions.
If only two cars were involved in the accident, usually the one to blame is the one who hit the car from behind. However, there are circumstances during which the car in front can be to blame. This may happen when the car in front doesn’t carry out the correct observations and stops abruptly without consideration or stops abruptly on a fast-moving road without a good cause, then they may be to blame.
