What does a rear-end accident mean?

A rear-end accident means that you are hit or hit someone from behind. This type of accident can generate severe neck injuries, called whiplash injuries. The reason why accidents of this type occur is that the driver keeps too short a distance from the vehicle in front, poor visibility, or that he or she is not focused.

There are a number of points listed below to avoid rear-end accidents:

• You should always keep a sufficient distance from the car in front, for example use the three-second rule to minimize the risk of getting too close.
• Being focused when driving is incredibly important, but especially important is that you pay attention to what the car in front is doing.
• Practice more careful driving in poor visibility such as heavy rain or fog.
