Assuming someone is driving really fast, sideswipe you, and the only placce to stop is on the open right hand side. Would you conider driving pass the person who just hit you and then stopping? Or would you just stop right behind the person who just hit you....

I would stop behind them instinctively, If I was hit I would stop first and look at the damages to my vehicle and then not drive pass the other person. They can say that you hit them instead espcially in a minor accident....

I would like to think that I would drive past the person who just hit me and pull off to the right side to prevent more accidents. But I don't think any one really knows how they will react in an accident. Injuries can also place a role on how you react too.

I would keep my vehicle exactly where it was when it came to a stop when the accident was done. After the police were there, and i had the proper pictures from the scene, than I would move it. Hope this helps!

I would prefer to stop behind. Might give me a chance to get his licnese number etc in case they decided to drive off. Also you say they were driving really fast, so you should have lots of space to get to the side of the road.

automobile 3 is at fault for hitting automobile 2. you're anticipated to have adequate distance from the automobile in the front of you to be able to resign in time. no count number what the rationalization for the unexpected provide up.
