Frequently Asked Questions
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 commonly results in more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving so dangerous?
Taking attention off the road, even briefly, delays a driver's ability to notice hazards and brake or steer in time to avoid a crash.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Try to move to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and make sure to exchange information with other drivers while waiting for law enforcement or medical responders to arrive.
