  • You were At Fault in this accident. You are required to maintain control of your vehicle at all times, regardless of road and weather conditions. You should maintain at least 1 car length for every 10 miles per hour, behind the vehicle which you are following. You stated that you were only traveling 52 MPH in a 60 MPH zone, this still was too fast for road conditions obviously, since you could not stop in a cleared distance ahead and struck a vehicle in front of you.
  • There are exceptions - if it can be shown that the driver braked did so with the intention of causing a collision as compared with avoiding a legitimate road hazard. See the related link entitled "car accident fraudulent claims" to see a discussion about fraudulent motor accident claims in the UK.
