A lower court had awarded damages to a party injured in a traffic accident, finding the driver at fault despite the accident occurring on a public road, based on the driver's failure to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, which was slowing down. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, affirming that the obligation to maintain a safe distance is one of prudence and diligence required of all road users, and the breach of this obligation, leading to a collision when the leading vehicle braked, established fault sufficient to warrant civil liability, irrespective of other factors concerning the initial slowing of the lead vehicle.
