Will a rear-end collision result in penalty points, and how many?
1 Answers
Whether a rear-end collision results in penalty points depends on the circumstances. If it is merely a traffic accident without any violations, no points will be deducted. However, if traffic laws are violated with illegal actions, penalty points will be imposed. Tips to prevent rear-end collisions: When driving at speeds exceeding 100 km/h on highways, maintain a safe distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead. Regularly check the vehicle behind you; if it is following too closely, lightly tap the brakes to alert it. If traffic ahead is dense and moving slowly, turn on the hazard lights to remind the following vehicle to slow down. Liability determination in rear-end collisions: Generally, the rear driver bears full responsibility in a rear-end collision. However, if the front vehicle was reversing, rolling backward, or forcibly changing lanes, the front driver may be at fault. Liability is determined based on the role of each party's actions in causing the accident and the severity of their negligence.
