Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving so dangerous?
Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds can prevent a driver from reacting in time to avoid a collision, especially on highways where vehicles close distance quickly.
How do weather and road conditions contribute to crashes?
Wet, icy, or poorly lit roads reduce traction and visibility, making it harder for drivers to stop or steer away from a hazard in time.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Move to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver. Seeking a medical evaluation afterward is important even if injuries aren't immediately obvious.
