Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I'm stopped near a crash on the highway?
Move as far onto the shoulder as possible, turn on hazard lights, and stay inside the vehicle with a seatbelt on unless it's unsafe to remain there. Watch for approaching traffic before exiting if you must leave the vehicle.
How does fog or low visibility contribute to pile-ups?
Reduced visibility shortens the time drivers have to react to slowed or stopped traffic ahead, which can turn a single crash into a chain-reaction involving several vehicles.
Why is following distance so important on highways?
Keeping extra space between vehicles gives drivers more time to brake or steer around a hazard, lowering the chance of rear-ending another car if traffic suddenly slows.
Are secondary crashes common after an initial wreck?
Yes. Vehicles slowing or stopping near an earlier crash scene can catch following traffic off guard, so drivers approaching any accident scene are advised to slow down well in advance.
