we define collisions by whether the velocity facing side of the object hits the object.

- jncfhnb 3y agoYes. You would not say the lead car collided with the other in a rear end collision unless it was reversing. > Typical scenarios for rear-ends are a sudden deceleration by the first car (for example, to avoid someone crossing the street) so that the driver behind it does not have time to brake and collides with it.
