Looking back in the rearview: Insights into Queensland's rear-end crashes

CONCLUSION: Rear-end crashes can be unjust in that the not-at-fault party is typically more severely injured. Results from the current study suggest that keeping speed limits no higher than 50 km/h could help reduce the severity of rear-end crashes. Increased enforcement of safe following distances could also assist in preventing road trauma as a result of rear-end crashes.PMID:38165203 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2023.2267710
