One in five motorists (19%) who have been involved in a crash felt pressured by the other driver to take the blame, when in 71% of cases it wasn't actually their fault, according to new UK research.

The study by Norwich Union found that two in five (40%) respondents had suffered post-traumatic stress symptoms following a crash, including recurring memories (15%) and feelings of distress when recounting what had happened (17%), because they had mistakenly taken the blame.

One in three (32%) drivers doesn't know what to do in the event of a crash. Norwich Union is urging motorists to be prepared for the eventuality of a crash in order to better deal with the stressful situation and not take the blame unnecessarily.
