Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect crash severity?
Higher speeds reduce the time a driver has to react and increase the force of impact, which usually leads to more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving so dangerous?
Taking attention off the road, even briefly, slows reaction time and can prevent a driver from noticing hazards like stopped traffic or pedestrians in time to avoid a collision.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Move to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and wait for law enforcement to arrive and document the scene before discussing fault.
