Correct answer to question 340 (General Knowledge): The actual cause is best determined by investigation, not statements made in the heat of the moment

Why

Fault is determined through the facts gathered by investigators and insurers, so making statements at the scene, before all the facts are known, can complicate that process unnecessarily.
