>> From legal standpoint Legal determinations come after our accepted rules are applied to the situation. Those rules ebb and flow dependent on the nature of the inquiry and the legal standard applied. Even seemingly irrelevant factors such as insurance coverage can be pivotal. Where both divers are covered by the same insurer, there is a higher likelihood that both will be found somewhat at fault. An insurer on the hook for both sides isn't going to spend money arguing forcefully for an all-or-nothing determination. But such things are totally irrelevant to anyone seeking to prevent accidents from happening in the first place.

Definitely does not work that way where I live. The "guilt" is determined independently of insurance situation. The insurance companies decides whose insurance will be used to pay which does not influence fault determination at all. > Where both divers are covered by the same insurer, there is a higher likelihood that both will be found somewhat at fault. Not true at all. And in particular, beyond being fined for not having mandatory insurance, you insurance does not influences at all who goes to jail or who will be fined and for what. > The legal debate is about who has more or less blame, who has enough to be adjudicated responsible for which resulting injuries. The legal debate fairly often ends with one driver being ruled as the cause of the accident with no blame spread.

  In most accident cases nobody will go to jail. There was no crime committed, so the only people who care are those who are liable in civil court.

    Most accidents are parking lot accidents. The guilty one is only one - the one with moving car. That being said, accidents where someone died or ended up with injuries are large part of what criminal system deals with.
