Rear-End Collision Liability Due to Following Distance Violation
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA driver, failing to observe the required distance between vehicles, rear-ended the vehicle in front which had braked suddenly due to an obstruction in the road, leading to an appeal after being held liable. The court dismissed the appeal, reasoning that the obligation to maintain a safe following distance is absolute, and the driver's failure to anticipate and react to the preceding vehicle's deceleration, regardless of the reason for braking, constituted negligence directly causing the collision.
