It is not permissible to conceal any precise details in an investigation, as this leads to the loss of rights and the accusation of innocent people, which is clear injustice. One must refer to the competent authorities and traffic accident judges and clarify all facts. What the litigants state in the investigation is the basis for the ruling, and it should not be concealed. The jurisprudential principle is that a driver who did not transgress or act negligently, met safety requirements, and was unable to avoid a critical situation is not liable, based on the saying: "That which cannot be guarded against, there is no guarantee for it."
