BACKOVER PEDESTRIAN COLLISIONS: TECHNICAL AND LEGAL EVALUATION OF THE DRIVER’S ACTIONS

Abstract

The article presents a detailed analysis of backover collisions, i.e. traffic accidents involving vehicles moving in reverse. The authors emphasize the lack of adequate methodological support for the investigation of these highly common types of incidents, as well as the misleading language of the Traffic Regulations that often leads to biased verdicts on the driver's fault.
