Explanation
If your vehicle is hit from the rear, your vehicle will pull forward and you will be pushed backwards. The best thing to do in this situation is to hold the steering wheel tightly and press yourself against the back of your seat. Be ready to apply the brakes quickly to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of you.
