Why Can Curves Increase Crash Risks?
Curved sections of road can limit a driver’s view of what lies ahead. They can also require drivers to adjust their speed and steering as the roadway changes direction.
Entering a curve too quickly can make it harder to maintain control. Drivers should slow before reaching the curve and maintain a steady path through it.
Road conditions can add to these challenges. Rain, loose gravel, or other debris may reduce traction and make steering more difficult.
Drivers should remain in their lane and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Seat belts can also help protect occupants in a sudden collision.
