Frequently Asked Questions
Does speed make a difference in how serious a crash is?
Yes. Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which tends to mean more serious injuries and more vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds means a driver can miss a stopped car, a turning vehicle, or a pedestrian until it's too late to avoid a crash.
