Tagantkokkupõrge

Tagantkokkupõrge refers to a type of traffic collision where one vehicle collides with the rear of another vehicle. These collisions are common on roads and can occur for various reasons, including driver inattention, following too closely, sudden braking by the lead vehicle, or poor visibility.

The impact in a tagantkokkupõrge typically involves the front of the striking vehicle impacting the rear of the vehicle in front. The severity of such collisions can range from minor fender-benders to more serious accidents resulting in significant damage and injuries. Factors influencing the severity include the speed of the vehicles, their size and mass, and the specific points of impact.

In many jurisdictions, the driver of the rear vehicle is often presumed to be at fault in a tagantkokkupõrge, based on the principle that drivers are responsible for maintaining a safe following distance. However, exceptions may apply if the lead vehicle stopped unexpectedly, without signaling, or if there were other contributing factors. Investigations often consider evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and witness statements to determine fault.

Preventing tagantkokkupõrge primarily relies on responsible driving practices. This includes maintaining adequate following distance, avoiding distractions, obeying speed limits, and being aware of traffic conditions and the actions of other drivers. Defensive driving techniques, such as scanning the road ahead and anticipating potential hazards, can also significantly reduce the risk of this type of accident.
