Chain Collision, first car drove off.

[Vhtfhwlego]

Let just say I happen to hear about an incident.

 

 

First car fully stopped, second car fully stopped, third car couldn’t stop.

 

Everyone came down, only bumper to bumper incident.

 

 

3^rd car front have some damages, 2^nd car rear & front some damages, 1^st car suffer no damage.

 

Since 1^st car have no damages, agreed with the 2^nd car’s owner and drove off.

 

 

Then should the first car report to incident to the insurance where there is no damages, no details of the other 2 drivers.

 

 

And how can the 2^nd car insurance claim for the front damage? He need the VRN of the first car right which he has because due to onboard camera which may review footage later.

 

 

Then when the 2^nd car claim, will the insurance company have details of the first car?

 

Will the first car owner get into trouble?

 

 

So much for being a gentleman.

 

 

If first car owner is worry because his current insurance company is one that will deny claims for non-drunkard drivers at their own discretion.

Think this classified as chain collision. Did second car indicate that he was sandwiched between the no visible damage first car and third car when he / she report?

1st vehicle could be a tanker, that's why no damage and only the 2nd car suffered damage?!

Some cars were designed in this way.

Front always have crumpled zones to absorb the impact.

First car wouldn't know because he left.

Last time first car got hit by volvo.

You see who's tank.

 

Now it's VW's turn to test the italian.

Why first car not just report to be safe?

 

After all - first car, where got liability?

Second car got camera right? Second car will use camera footage to show that he was propelled forward by the third car. He will use that in his / her claim on the third car. In chain collision usually first car quite safe.

 

 

Just to check, all three driving on straight road right? first car didn't cut in last minute or anything like that? If didn't, first car quite safe lah.

Even not at fault, insurance will risk the first car owner high risk.

Then without details of the 2 other cars, how to report?

Straight, car in front of first stop, second stop, third car (latest 7er) wants a newer facelift.

Pictures show that first car didn't bang anyone in front, so quite safe.

 

The first car service consultant can do an owner check through the VRN if first car want to report. Second car will claim third car, second car will be more worried first car claim him.

[Steptronic]

As far as I see,

 

1. First car has to report to his insurance with video footage - what happens if the second car decides to involve first car by saying that the first car cut too quickly or something.

 

2. First car should have signed private settlement with second car that it was part of chain collision and since there is no damage, he does not want to claim from 2nd or 3rd.

Maybe no licence.

Possibility of 1st car driver didn't want authorities to know that he/she driving under licence suspension or banned fr driving. Or illegal mods, underaged driving, etc......

First car faster want go home eat 珍珠粉 to calm down the incident in his mind.

possible. my friend's GS300 ramp into the back of a XC90. that Volvo no damage at all whereas the lexus bonnet became a inverted V and headlights all gone.......

 

best of all, that ang mo lady XC90 driver told my friend to take care of his own repair as she will not claim him.

[GLZT]

This kind of hypothetical scenario very hard to discuss until we get a conclusion. So which car are you?

Unless the first car intentionally jam brake to cause accident, like those accident-scam jobs.
