My dad had to pay the damages he caused when he was pushed into the car infront of him and the car that started the whole chain reaction just had to pay for the damages he did to my dad's car rear bumper.

If you’re unsure about the distance between you and the car in front, a good rule of thumb is to measure using something in the road like a sign for example, and then immediately once the car in front has passed that, you count 1001, 1002, 1003. If you pass the sign after you’ve finished counting, you’re an appropriate distance away from the car in front. If you pass it before you’ve finished counting, you’re too close. (Of course, this only applies to regular cars, not semis or anything like that. It also depends on the condition of your brakes, and the weight of your car.)

First rule of driving; when the car infront of you reduces or brakes immediately reciprocate.
First rule is seat belts
My daughter just got the exact same situation, and insurance from the car behind her only wants to pay for the rear bumper and no front damages even though the report and witness say she was already stopped. Insurance is all a scam to take your money.
I was nearly in that same situation. A dashcam saved my @ss. Never get in the car without it!
@yetanothertroll unfortunately it didn't go well for my daughter. I guess insurance has bigger pockets for bigger lawers. So now she has a car she can't drive. They all deny claims and who has the better lawyer wins, unless you have it in camera, which my daughter did not but had 5 witness and still no good.
That's always the case. I think the attorney is wrong in this instance. I've always grown up being taught that if you're sandwiched in the middle, you're responsible for rear ending the car in front because you were too close even though the car in the back pushed your forward. Maybe different states have different laws?
@@erounyi In the cases I've been rear-ended, I was in a small car stopped at a light while the idiot behind me was in a much bigger car or truck going at speed. I don't think even the parking brake would have kept my car from being pushed into the intersection, let alone cars in front of me. I think the general rule is when you're stopped, you should be able to see the tires of the car in front of you, otherwise you're too close. That didn't help much when a giant Ford pickup rammed me at speed lol
Yeah, I swear man. Insurance wants you to pay them but when you actually need them, they try to cut corners.
This literal exact thing happened to me in my Dodge Challenger. I stopped for the person in front of me for a light on the highway, and I was rear ended by a speeding chick who was reaching for her coffee and not watching the road. Goodbye dream car.
They didn’t compensate ?

Those are the moments I'm slowing hella fast while actively looking in my rear view saying "don't hit me don't hit me"
that's me all the time, mainly because there are separate spots where people will just rear end you all the time. near my old apartment there was a right turn that everyone would just assume you will go through without stopping and hit you. in a typical week i would be rear ended 3 or 4 times. have to say, kia soul is built like a tank and took those hits like a champ though. every time i look in the mirror with dread because their car is demolished just to see the back of mine not have a scratch.
And in doing so you tense up and make your injury if hit all the worse.

After watching your vids... I think I need a dashcam
Pro tip. Don't ever come to a full stop in a left most lane like that. If someone is stopped, switch lanes as soon as possible. You WILL get slammed into.
In the case of the vid, they had no chance of switching lanes as the right lane had incoming vehicles as well.
I was involved in a miss and run in the leftmost lane that left me in the rightmost lane facing traffic. I always drive in the middle lane now because of that 😭

@@VanquishedAgain in the left most lane with the other lanes being clear? Bullshit
@@VanquishedAgain traffic doesn’t cause you to slam on your breaks unless your not paying attention to it
For real. I am so sick of stupid people on the freeway. There's hardly ever a reason for traffic to come to a stop unless it's due to pure stupidity. More people need to lose their license when they prove they clearly cannot comprehend basic driving principles. You're on the freeway, accelerate. Stop braking for everything. There are people behind you. You don't own the freeway nor are you the Batman of the freeway. Fucking. Go.
Keep the videos coming bro, you give good guidance to real life situations.
This is why I always try to have some open space on my sides. If an idiot does something stupid in front of me, I can fly into an adjacent lane with less risk of side-swiping someone else. My best driving advice is simply to always assume other drivers will do the wrong thing; just assume everyone is s complete moron. This way, when someone does do something stupid, you're ready for it. This has saved me from getting into at least 4 collisions.
Yes I ride my motorcycle almost as much as drive my car and that is a thing I'm constantly doing when I have to slam on .. as I'm applying the brakes am I going to get hit from.. and even while eating at a stoplight I wait until there's at least three cars stopped behind me before I relaxed.... And always when you were the first two or three cars going through an intersection pause for a few seconds before you take off. Discussing my life probably three times in the last 20 years
@@deepsquat600 Waiting a few seconds after the light changes - that has saved me a few times. Every now and then, someone is trying to fly through a yellow light, misses it, and runs a red. If that is the cross street in front of me, I might very well hit them if I speed through the moment my light is green. Yes, they would be at fault for running a red light. But, I'd rather not get in a collision in the first place.
I stopped at a red light in the wee hours one night and waited till my light turned green. I was about to go but got the impression to wait. Suddenly, not one but two morons racing each other blew through the red light in front of me. I was driving a friend's car to pick up drinks cause a bunch of us were working on a project. I'm so happy I waited.
A car in the lane next to me came to almost a full stop in the middle of the high way. If they hadn’t been driving weird I wouldn’t have been so cautious around them. They almost cause a 4 car accident then they randomly slammed on their brakes, me as collateral, the guy behind them, and the guy behind me. There was no one in front of that car, and no exit for a while. Some people are so stupid. I just drive as if the people around me as trying to hit my car. I know they aren’t, but if you’re prepared for someone to pull in front of you, then at least you aren’t taken off guard.
Bro took a minute to explain common sense
there was a text and driving person that did this, following too close to me and i was the meat between the sandwich. i was following the car ahead at a safe distance too! The worst part, the person texting and driving had a father who owned a dealership! Benefits paid to me? none! the affects on my life from that collision caused me lifetime monetary loss!
People underestimate the speed at which you slow down it’s actually very slow in emergency so following too close is something I feel people do recklessly I almost follow semi rules.
@@SnickC13 I try to maintain a generously safe following distance as much as possible as well…. unfortunately, too many other drivers see that space as an open spot for them to zip in and out of. I’m glad that I no longer live in a major metropolitan area, where I had to deal with that stuff daily.
@@tanya5322 it’s miserable when you’re leaving a good distance and cars keep filling the gap making you need to back up further.

Idk why that was funny, the relief they had for not hitting them but then getting hit suddenly was just so goofy.
Its just so cartoony😭i dont mean to make fun of the situation but💀
It wasn't. Your humor is just trashy.
I was laughing, but, in a weird way lol like omg that’s fucked up. Imagine the relief they felt and then that shit happened. Oh god. I’d be pissed.
i was looking for this comment!
There has to be a tougher punishment for people trying to scam their insurance and other people
I have learned so much from you that I automatically knew who was liable. Damn Ugo!!
I've actually been told that if you avoid the accident but another vehicle pushes you into the vehicle in front of you, you're still liable for that accident because you should have stopped safely far enough back so that if you are hit from the rear you don't get the vehicle in front of you. I've been told that multiple times by various different people ranging from attorneys to insurance to police officers
In Oklahoma it's actually on you if your pushed into the car in front of you and the logic used in court and to legislate is "because you should have stopped at a safer distance" which can effectively never be properly calculated unless we were to all leave 3-4 car gaps between every stopped vehicle at every light, stop sign, train injunction, turn lane, yield sign, or the like
That looked like a fairly wide stop distance to me, about a car length (don't lie, you stop closer together at a sign or light).
I stop with enough room to get out from behind the person if I need to. Doesn’t matter how much room you leave if the rear driver is fast enough and big enough they can knock you into the front vehicle up to a point. Past that point it won’t matter because you’re dead
The law is the same here in VA, which is asinine
And that dashcam will also come in handy when dealing with insurance proving innocence.
Cop just asked the woman in front if she heard the collision from me getting ass ended before I in turn hit her.
Thank goodness for their Dashcam. This is very clear cut and dry.
Gotta be aware of your surroundings at all times, not just in front of you or behind you. I've had times someone slammed their brakes due to traffic to which I got over into the next lane since I knew it was clear.
DAYYYYYUUUM HE ON BRAKES AN MADE HIM ROLL LIKE THAT......HE KNOCCED THE HELL OUT OF EM
Another example of looking far enough ahead . You can’t depend on other drivers to do the right thing anymore . A lot of drivers unfortunately do not pay attention .
Once I get my license my cell phone will be in do not disturb and in the glove box. Also I'll be a silent driver so no talking the passengers can talk to each other but not to the driver. So no distractions.
anymore? you never could, and statistics prove that.

Damn G… you’re cooking. Your content gonna get you places. You found your niche

@@NoNameNoWhere cars have a place and a utility. But they shouldn't be the only viable method. So many lives could be saved if we changed our land use 💕
My dad had the same type of accident, and he was the middle car as well. My dad was in traffic, so it wasn't a sudden stop like in the video. The car behind him came in way too fast, which made him rear-end the car in front of him. But in my dad's case, the judge declared only the first car not liable for damages. My dad had to pay the damages he caused when he was pushed into the car infront of him and the car that started the whole chain reaction just had to pay for the damages he did to my dad's car rear bumper.
Someone said you gotta get a statement from the first car saying they were hit once. Can't be charged with battery if you're shoved into someone in the same sense. Something close almost happened to my brother but the cop had some sense.
@Bulut Bulut yes, safe distance still applies to stopped cars specifically because of situations like this. Given that you're complaining you clearly didn't learn anything from it. Don't be a jackass and ruin someone elses day because you can't think ahead
That's how it works here in Ontario Canada
Yes. I believe you are required to keep a half car length distance even when stopped at a light. If you are rear ended and pushed into the car ahead because you were too close then you are liable for the damage of the car ahead of you.
Having a dash cam is a must, probably the first thing im going to install when I get my first car
This the first “ lawyers reaction “ that I knew the correct answer!
That's why you always scan your rear view mirror every few seconds because there are people don't drive...they ride. I've avoided getting hit more than 4 times by seeing it coming and scooting off to the right or left in time to be missed by the vehicle following me too closely. Always leave space between you and the car ahead of you just in case you have to escape.
Everybody, if you notice that you’re driving on the freeway and you’re coming to a sudden slow down and or stop, turn on your hazard signals, so that way the people behind you that are still going 70 know that it’s a slow down and or stop.
Yeah, because the brake lights don't mean anything. How about just get off your phone and pay attention to what you're doing?

Quick tip! People get used to seeing the same thing so while a person might see brake lights on streets like this they might only “see” you slow a bit not stop so turning something unusual like your hazards can help.
Yeah if I ever see a LOT of breaking ahead of me on the highway, I immediately put my hazards on so everyone else knows “hey you might wanna slow down”
@@kingofgrim4761that’s not how you use hazards… they are just gunna think YOUR breaking down not that stop and go traffic is happening … if they need YOUR hazards to tell them what’s going on.. that’s not gunna help any😂 at that point they are a loss cause if they can’t feel the flow of tragic and stay a good distance back and slow every single time the car infront slows , as soon as someone infront of you breaks YOU BREAK TOO always throwing on your hazards is not how they are to be used and we will then get use to dumbasses always throwing on their hazards in a non hazardous or unexpected car issue situation… I see people do this all the time and it’s just dumb . You then try to analyze if THAT vehicle is loosing control, fully stopping due to car trouble or in a dangerous situation… not “ hmm I bet there is traffic up ahead or something in the road or maybe even a dear!”
@@virginiaWT4237 yeah it is, quite literally part of the drivers manual. It’s especially useful on highways/thruways, where everyone is going from 75+ to stopping in less than a half or quarter mile. It helps people out and especially since I make it pretty clear (I don’t just turn them on and leave them, I basically flash the hazards so they can tell it’s a warning)
Chain of drivers who paid zero attention 😂
I’ve been in the same situation-it worked out just how Ugo said.
“You were driving too close” Dude if someone goes from 140 to a stop in 3 seconds and I’m locked on the highway, you’d better *believe* I’m fighting it in court.
Supposed to keep a safe distance. Point of being a defensive driver is so that you can protect yourself from stupid people on the road
Not to mention that you also can't be stopped on a road that other cars pass through, especially a highway.
@@americansoapproductstm8206 everyone else was stopped and there were cars alongside them. What were they supposed to do? Swerve into the other lane and potentially cause a way worse accident?
@@DreamingAstro bullshit

I'm most surprised at how fast they stopped and didn't crash
The way he said pushed I’m dying lol
This is why that middle break light is so fucking important. Go outside, right now, and check your shit. It takes 2 seconds.
That's why you always pay attention to the car in front of you.
If you’re unsure about the distance between you and the car in front, a good rule of thumb is to measure using something in the road like a sign for example, and then immediately once the car in front has passed that, you count 1001, 1002, 1003. If you pass the sign after you’ve finished counting, you’re an appropriate distance away from the car in front. If you pass it before you’ve finished counting, you’re too close. (Of course, this only applies to regular cars, not semis or anything like that. It also depends on the condition of your brakes, and the weight of your car.)
