Hi

 

I would really appreciate peoples advice on this matter. Thanks.

 

A vehicle ( Vehicle X) was on a dual carriage way (40mph) behind it was 3 other vehicles. This vehicle was on the outside lane (right hand lane) and then decided to break so sharply to turn left!!! The road it wished to eenter was soo tight, and had a width restriction, and there was a speed camera at this location. After breaking this vehicle realised that there was another car on the left lane blocking the entrance to this side road, and so couldnt turn left. But by this time the 3 vehicles behind this vehicle collided. No damage happened to this vehicle and ran away leaving the other 3 damaged.

 

The vehicle behind Vehicle X (2nd car) got damaged from behind, because the vehicle behind it (3rd car) hit it. Then the car behind vehicle 3 hit the rear of vehicle 3. Not much damage occured to vehicle 3 from behind. But a large amount of damage occured to the front of vehicle 4.

 

This all happened because the first vehicle braked sooo sharply, imagine a road that is 40 on a Right hand lane and he wanted to turn left EXACTLY where this little side road was.

 

I want to know is vehicle 4 at fault? Which vehicles are at fault?

 

Enough breaking distance was left between vehicle 3 and vehicle 4 behind it but since the level of breaking was soo severe this occured. As I said vehicle 1 ran away, but was chased by another vehicle who witnessed them driving in a reckless manner further along and nearly caused at least 2 more accidents. Also, they got a number plate for the car, and the colour thats all. It was suggested they dont have a licence, but no one knows obviously. Also, checked VRM seems no insurance possible aswell.

 

Please your help is much appreciated as this has caused a great deal of stress. Thanks and any advice appreciated and what procedure to follow....Thanks so much people.

Vechile 1 for insurance purpose (although he may have been to blame) Is not to blame.

 

Vechile 2 is free from blame.

 

Vechiles 3 and 4 pick up the mess.

 

You state enough braking was left from vechiles 3 - 4. I totally disagree. If there was enough distance left, vechile 4 would NOT have hit 3. They are also to blame.

Thanks for the reply

 

But that is not fair vehicle 1 has nothing to do with it, he caused the mess...and it could have been staged someone could have made it for a laugh, esp since they dont have insurance they dont care.

 

So vehicle 4 is to blame? I know its the truth but it actually hurts a lot;(

Hi

The vehicle behind Vehicle X (2nd car) got damaged from behind, because the vehicle behind it (3rd car) hit it. Then the car behind vehicle 3 hit the rear of vehicle 3. Not much damage occured to vehicle 3 from behind. But a large amount of damage occured to the front of vehicle 4.

 

It would appear that both vehicles 3 & 4 are at fault, however if I was the driver of vehicle 3 I would say that I had managed to stop before being pushed into the rear of vehicle 2 by vehicle 4.

The sad facts are that although vehicle 1 started this train of events both vehicles 3 & 4 were driving too close and therefore could not brake sufficiently to avoid a crash.

regards

Please remember our troops, fighting and dying in our name. God protect them.
