Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers avoid getting caught in a multi-vehicle pile-up?
Keeping a safe gap behind the vehicle ahead and slowing down early when traffic bunches up gives drivers more time to react if something goes wrong further down the road.
What should I do if I come upon a crash scene on the highway?
Slow down well before reaching the scene, turn on hazard lights, and move over if it's safe to do so. Avoid stopping in a travel lane unless directed by emergency crews.
Why does following distance matter so much in preventing chain-reaction crashes?
A longer following distance gives a driver more room to brake gradually instead of suddenly, which lowers the chance of rear-ending another vehicle if traffic stops fast.
Does poor visibility, like fog, play a role in multi-vehicle crashes?
Reduced visibility can make it harder for drivers to see slowing or stopped traffic ahead in time, which is one reason crashes involving several vehicles sometimes happen in clusters.
