Let us return to the issue of liability when somebody has a crash. Let us say a person is driving down the road and somebody drives into the back of his or her car. That person knows it is the other person's fault and the liability is fairly clear, even though we all have insurance discs that say never to admit liability, even if one is in the wrong. That is standard information from the insurance industry. Maybe legal people would say never to admit liability either, even though it may be blatantly obvious that one person was at fault rather than another.
