Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect crash severity?
Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which usually means more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving dangerous?
Taking attention off the road, even briefly, reduces a driver's ability to spot hazards and react in time, raising the chance of a crash at intersections and in traffic.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Check for injuries, try to move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and make sure to exchange information with the other driver while waiting for emergency responders.
