Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Check for injuries, move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, and make sure to exchange information with other drivers. Try to document the scene with photos if you're able to safely do so.
How do pursuits or chases increase the risk of a crash?
High-speed driving during a pursuit reduces reaction time for everyone on the road, including uninvolved drivers who may not realize a chase is happening nearby. Intersections are especially risky when a fleeing vehicle runs a signal or stop sign.
Where do most traffic crashes happen?
A large share of crashes occur at intersections, where vehicles cross paths, turn, or stop suddenly. Clear sightlines and obeying traffic signals cut down on this risk substantially.
