Frequently Asked Questions
Does speed make a crash worse? Yes. Higher speed means more force at impact and less time for drivers to react or stop, which tends to increase the severity of injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving a problem in intersection crashes? Even a few seconds of looking away from the road, such as at a phone, can keep a driver from noticing a light change or oncoming vehicle in time to avoid a collision.
