Who is responsible for an accident during a test drive?
1 Answers
In general, both the test driver and the car dealer should bear joint liability for an accident during a test drive. First, the responsibility for the accident should be determined by examining whether the car dealer was at fault during the test drive activity and whether the test driver was the party at fault for causing the traffic accident. Precautions for test driving at a 4S store: Sign a contract before test driving: Usually, when test driving at a 4S store, a contract needs to be signed. The test driver should read the contract carefully before signing, as it will play a crucial role if any issues arise during the test drive. Inquire whether the test drive vehicle is insured: Before test driving, it is necessary to ask the salesperson at the 4S store whether the vehicle is insured. If it is insured, you can test drive with peace of mind. If it is not insured, extra caution is needed during the test drive to avoid any collisions or scratches.
