Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving dangerous?
Taking attention off the road for even a few seconds, whether to check a phone or adjust something in the vehicle, cuts down the time a driver has to react to sudden hazards like a stopped car or a vehicle crossing into their lane.
How do weather and road conditions affect crash risk?
Rain, fog, glare and uneven pavement all reduce traction and visibility, making it harder for drivers to stop in time or stay in their lane, especially on rural routes like Route 14.
What should I do after a car accident?
Try to move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, check for injuries, and exchange information with the other driver. Let police document the scene and seek medical evaluation even if injuries aren't immediately obvious.
