Frequently Asked Questions
Why does keeping a safe following distance matter so much?
Extra space between vehicles gives drivers more time to react if traffic ahead stops suddenly or a crash occurs, which can prevent a chain-reaction collision.
Do crashes usually trigger additional collisions nearby?
Yes. Stopped or slowed traffic from an initial crash can catch following drivers off guard, especially when visibility is limited or vehicles block part of the roadway.
Why are multi-vehicle crashes usually harder to investigate?
Investigators have to determine the sequence of impacts among several vehicles, which usually means reviewing more physical evidence, more witness accounts and more conflicting versions of events than a two-car crash.
