How Overcorrection Can Lead to Serious Multi-Vehicle Crashes
When drivers veer off the roadway, sudden overcorrection can cause them to lose control.
Crossing into oncoming traffic significantly increases the risk of severe collisions.
Chain-reaction crashes often follow, especially on busy roads where multiple vehicles are traveling closely together.
