1 Answers
Hitting a guardrail with a car is considered a single-vehicle accident. You need to call the police and notify your insurance company to file a claim for the damage to the guardrail. If you flee the scene after hitting a guardrail, in addition to fully compensating for the destroyed guardrail, you will also face fines, administrative detention, and penalty points for fleeing the scene of a traffic accident. Below is more information on how to handle hitting a guardrail: 1. Fleeing after hitting a guardrail results in 12 penalty points, detention, fines, and full compensation for the guardrail damage. Moreover, the insurance company will not cover any of the damages to your vehicle or the guardrail, and it will leave you with a negative traffic record. 2. In traffic accidents involving vehicles hitting guardrails handled by traffic police departments, the drivers involved often exhibit fatigue, drowsiness, excessive speed, or other factors leading to improper operation, resulting in single-vehicle accidents. However, there are many reasons that can lead to "improper operation." 3. Most of these accidents occur at night, especially during the early morning hours, due to poor visibility and driver fatigue. If the driver fails to pay attention to road conditions and drives at excessive speeds, sudden situations like overtaking or avoiding pedestrians can easily lead to accidents.
