How Drivers Can Help Prevent Head-on Collisions
Head-on collisions can result in severe injuries because vehicles traveling in opposite directions meet with significant force. Staying within the designated lane and avoiding distractions can help drivers maintain control.
Drivers should reduce speed when road conditions change and remain alert for vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. If a vehicle begins drifting across the center line, creating as much distance as possible may help prevent a collision.
