In most multi-vehicle collisions, the initial assessment of the accident can be made by observing whether it involves a rear-end collision or a shoving collision

"Collision"

A "rear-end collision" occurs when the vehicle in front comes to a stop, and a vehicle behind fails to brake in time and crashes into it. Examples are as follows

Drivers are advised to remain calm in the event of a traffic accident and call the police for help only when it is safe to do so. Drivers should not argue about who is at fault or try to settle privately. The correct approach is to let the police investigate and wait for the court's judgment before seeking compensation from the driver at fault
