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 raise the risk of serious injury.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Taking attention off the road, even briefly, delays a driver's ability to notice hazards and brake or steer in time to avoid a crash.
What should someone do right after a car accident?
Check for injuries, move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver while waiting for responders.
