Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers avoid getting caught up in a multi-car pileup?
Leaving extra space between vehicles, slowing down in heavy traffic, and staying alert to sudden braking ahead can help drivers react in time and avoid being pulled into a chain-reaction crash.
What should I do if I come up on a crash scene on a busy road?
Slow down well before reaching the scene, turn on hazard lights, and merge away from the blocked lanes as soon as it's safe. Avoid stopping in traffic lanes unless directed to by police.
Why does following distance matter so much in multi-vehicle crashes?
A longer following distance gives a driver more time to brake or steer around trouble. When vehicles follow too closely, one sudden stop can trigger a rear-end chain reaction involving several cars.
