“That's almost impossible unless you've a very old car or haven't set the headrest correctly in which case you're culpable. Of course if you're illegally not wearing a seat belt it's different.
All you get is neck strain by being thrown forward not whiplash where the head is thrown back over the body. One hurts & the other can paralyse or kill”
