Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect the severity of a crash?
Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force of impact, which usually leads to more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Even a few seconds of taking your eyes off the road can mean missing a lane change, a slowing vehicle, or a hazard ahead, especially on a fast-moving freeway.
What should I do immediately after being involved in a car accident?
Move to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and notify law enforcement, especially in a hit and run where documenting details like license plates or vehicle descriptions can help investigators.
What should I do if I witness a hit and run?
Try to safely note the fleeing vehicle's license plate, color, and direction of travel, and report it to the CHP or local police as soon as possible.
