Who is at fault in side impact collision when changing lanes?
Generally, the person that was changing lanes would be at fault. It would be hard to find fault in the other driver if they were stationary in their lane.
How the probability and statistics is apply in insurance?
They are used to understand how to set insurance premiums. Take, for example, car insurance. The probability of a new driver getting in an accident is higher than an experienced driver. The probability of a male driver getting in an accident is higher than an female driver (in general). The probability of a person who has had many claims filing another claim is higher than someone who has never filed a claim. All these data guide the insurance industry to charge higher premiums to drivers who are new, male or have filed claims in the past.
Why is the resultant of the two vectors always closer to the vector having higher magnitude?
Consider a box being pulled by two people in the top and the right direction. If the person who is pulling the box from the right is the stronger person, he exerts more force on the box [i.e, the magnitude of the force exerted toward the right is higher], it is more likely that the box will move in his direction. Quite similarly, when considering the resultant of two vectors, the resultant is bound to be closer to the higher magnitude. I hope that made sense.

How many people get run over by trains per year?
According to Operation Lifesaver, an average of eight collisions between trains and motorists occur every day. Over 350 people are killed each year, and about 1,000 are seriously injured. A motorist is 40 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a collision with a train than in a collision with another motor vehicle.+++That's a curious statistic: on the face of it I'd have thought the motorist is at much higher risk of collision with another car, not with a train. However the question does not mention motorists specifically, in fact it specifically asks how many "people [are] run over by trains".In the UK more fatalities on railways are among pedestrians, sometimes trespassing on the railway. British railways are all fenced etc as much as possible, and crossings obvious, so no-one can stray onto the track by mistake. I don't know numbers - though I know they are small. Possibly the largest and least publicised cause of delays to rail services in Britain though are not car/train or person/train collisions on level-crossings by motorist's or pedestrian's accident or misjudgement, though they do happen, but suicides.Yes, it is a certain and quick death - and I knew two who killed themselves like that, one on the London Underground - but it is very selfish. For it is an appalling experience for the unfortunate driver, and causes no end of problems while he or she is relieved of duty to recover from the shock, the body is recovered and the train and scene are examined forensically.
Does age contribute to a vehicle collision?
Age may contribute to a car accident if the awareness level of the driver is low. If the driver is an elderly person, the reaction time may be slower (No offense elderly people).
What does no fault pay and what does your insurance pay?
No fault coverage is a type of auto coverage that most states require a registered owner of a car to maintain. It pays a percentage of the medical expenses and lost wages of that person or members of his/her household who may be injured as a result of a collision. It pays the covered person without regard to fault for the collision. It pays nothing to the driver or owner of the other vehicle or property involved in the collision.

What are hallucinogens Name at least two effects they will likely have on a driver?
A hallucinogen is a drug is a controlled substance that distorts the senses of a person. The perception of reality is altered. Two effects this will likely have for a driver would be sight and hearing.
If driver A runs a red light but driver B has no driver license but stays at the scene of the accident and both get traffic violations who is at fault?
The person who caused the collision is at fault. If someone ran a red light he/she gets the points on his/her license and his insurance gets to pay the damage. The unlicensed driver just gets the ticket to force him/her to get a license.
What happens if a driver who wrecks with passengers in the car and was not at fault because of a hit and run and the car was owned by someone else with liability who will be covered?
Much depends on state collision requirements and if the runaway driver can be caught. The first thing that should have been done was to file a hit and run complaint, if the driver was able to capture the runaway vehicles license information, damages can be obtained from that person's insurance carrier. It also depends on whether the person who was driving had the permission of the owner of the vehicle to be driving it. If the owner has collision, he or she may be able to file a claim on the policy, and allow the insurance company to go after the driver of the car.
Is there a maximum speed where a person can be injured in a rear end collision?
No, there is no maximum. At speeds exceeding 30 mph it is becomes more likely that you will be killed rather than injured.

Who is at fault if someone hits a piece of another person's vehicle after it has broken off of their vehicle?
If the piece broke off as the result of a collision it would be the responsibility of the driver at fault in that collision, if it just fell off the vehicle during a non accident trip it is the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle that the part came from.
If another person is driving your car with consent and swerves to miss a deer but lands in ditch and damages the car who is liable?
typcially the insurance stays with the car....if you have collision coverage (if no actual contact with the deer would be collision rather than comprehensive coverage), your insurance would cover.....in most states if there is no collision coverage on the vehicle, but the driver has a vehicle that has the needed coverage it would then apply.........
