What to Do If You Hit a Stationary Car While Reversing?
1 Answers
The correct procedure when you hit a stationary car while reversing is to stop your vehicle immediately, preserve the accident scene, and report the incident to the traffic police department or your insurance company. Wait for the traffic police to arrive at the scene to collect evidence, determine liability for the accident, and issue a liability determination certificate. Hit and Run: This refers to fleeing the scene of a traffic accident to evade legal consequences, with the subjective intent of avoiding legal liability. Here are some precautions to take when reversing: Control your speed; Be aware of the actual distance in mirrors. Control your speed: Beginners must control their speed when reversing. The reversing speed should not exceed 2 meters per second. A slower speed allows more time for observation and steering adjustments, which is essential for safety. Otherwise, excessive speed increases the likelihood of accidents. Be aware of the actual distance in mirrors: Objects seen in mirrors may not appear as they do to the naked eye. Particularly, the passenger-side rearview mirror is a slightly curved convex mirror, which provides a wider field of view but can make objects appear farther away than they actually are. It's important to take evasive action in advance. The driver-side rearview mirror is a flat mirror, offering a relatively narrower field of view but a more accurate sense of distance.
