Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of car accidents?
Distracted driving, following too closely, failing to yield at intersections, and ignoring traffic signals are among the most frequent causes investigators cite in two-vehicle crashes.
How does speed affect crash severity?
Higher speed increases stopping distance and the force of impact, which raises the chance of serious injury even in a crash involving only two vehicles.
Why is distracted driving dangerous at intersections?
A driver who looks away from the road for even a few seconds can miss a signal change or a vehicle already in the intersection, leaving little time to react.
