Advice Need on 3rd Party Claims in Chain Collision

I was involved in something similar not too long ago. I was the third car in a chain collision involving 5 cars, and the reason why I hit the car in front is because of the huge impact from the last 2 cars when they hit me (because of this the damage on my front is minimal, just a dented car plate that's all). So anyway, my insurance company claimed the guy behind and I believe the guy in front claimed for a new rear bumper from my insurance company. While waiting for the insurance companies to process the claims, I called up both my insurance company and the driver of the car in front to explain that I will not accept any liability on my part.

Surprisingly...my NCD was left intact at 50% upon renewal (and no NCD protector btw). No lawyers nor video evidence required (didn't have have in-car cam back then). Maybe I was just lucky ;)

Isn't yr case same as TS, his NCD is intact tho he doesn't have NCD protector. It's the claim and the additional loading that he's unhappy about. When you said you called both ins co about not accepting any liability, did they actually agreed to it? Did your premium went up the next renewal? Frankly, if this bola thingy is the new standard or
practice in place for chain collision, does a "in-car cam" makes any differences?

Devil's advocate - what is the safe distance between cars at 90 km/h?

I think the answer dictates how the insurance companies decide if the middle cars are exactly fault-free.

Depends on whether your car has sart sart BBK, 285 width tyres, etc etc to decrease braking distance.

Oh, and whether you've got a XMM with a distracting inner beauty seated beside you. Eyes on chest = eyes off road, reaction time required increases!

I was told that my ncd will not be affected. It's more of the loading on the insurance premium when come to renewal that I am concerned abt.
They can keep your ncd at 50%, but bump up to 3 times the premium u supposed to pay. In the end, u still loose.

Assuming full focus, stock car...... 90 km/h, how many cars length?

Based on highway code.. 9

1 for every 10km/hr.

We will all lose every claim

35m to stop from 90kmh - 0 kmh ...... based on good tires, weather and road conditions based on this formula (cF=0.8).
