Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect the severity of a crash?
Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which tends to produce more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds can prevent a driver from reacting to sudden stops, turns, or obstacles in time to avoid a crash.
What should I do right after a car accident?
Move to a safe spot if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and exchange information with other drivers. Photos of the scene and a report from responding officers can help later on.
