Why is the driver fully at fault when hit while reversing?
1 Answers
Reversing, similar to driving against traffic, disrupts the normal flow of other vehicles, thus making the driver fully at fault. When driving against traffic, it's harder for others to notice the vehicle's status, and driving isn't as convenient as when following the traffic direction. Reversing increases blind spots, making accidents more likely to occur. Below is information regarding whether reversing always results in full responsibility: Specific situations where reversing is not at fault: If the traffic accident is caused by the fault of the other party, no responsibility is taken. If neither party is at fault for causing the traffic accident, it is considered a traffic accident with no responsibility on either side. If one party intentionally causes a road traffic accident, the other party is not at fault. Relevant legal provisions: According to Article 60 of the 'Road Traffic Accident Handling Procedures': The traffic management department of the public security organ shall determine the responsibility of the parties based on the role of their actions in causing the road traffic accident and the severity of their faults.
