Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers avoid getting caught up in a multi-vehicle crash?
Keeping a safe distance from the car ahead and slowing down in heavy traffic or at intersections with limited visibility gives drivers more time to react if traffic suddenly stops.
What should I do if I come upon a crash scene?
Remember to slow down well before reaching the area, follow any instructions from responders or flaggers, and avoid stopping in a travel lane unless directed to do so.
Why does following distance matter so much in multi-vehicle collisions?
A longer gap between vehicles gives drivers more room to brake safely, which can stop a single collision from spreading into a chain-reaction crash involving several cars.
