Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of car accidents?
Distracted driving, failure to yield, speeding and following too closely are among the most frequent factors investigators cite in car crashes, though a cause is confirmed only after a full review.
How does speed affect crash severity?
Higher speeds reduce the time a driver has to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which tends to result in more serious vehicle damage and injuries.
Why is distracted driving dangerous?
Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds can prevent a driver from reacting to sudden stops, turning vehicles or pedestrians in time to avoid a crash.
How do road and weather conditions contribute to crashes?
Wet, icy or debris covered roads can reduce traction and extend stopping distances, making it harder for drivers to avoid a collision even at normal speeds.
