What Can Increase the Risk of Two-Car Crashes?
Two-car crashes can occur when motorists fail to yield, follow too closely, change lanes unsafely, or drive while distracted. Speeding and impaired driving can also reduce a driver’s ability to react to changing traffic conditions. At intersections, turning movements and unclear right-of-way decisions may increase collision risk.
Drivers can lower their risk by obeying traffic signals, maintaining a safe following distance, and checking blind spots before changing lanes. Staying focused on traffic instead of mobile devices also helps motorists react sooner when another vehicle moves unexpectedly. Wearing a seat belt can further reduce the likelihood of serious harm during a crash.
