What Should Drivers Know About Two-Vehicle Crashes?
Two-vehicle crashes can occur when drivers have limited time to respond to changing traffic conditions. Maintaining a safe speed and leaving enough space between vehicles can give motorists additional time to brake or maneuver when necessary. Staying focused on the roadway is especially important at busy intersections and major corridors.
Drivers should also check carefully before changing lanes or making turns. Blind spots can make it difficult to see another vehicle, particularly when traffic is moving in several lanes. Using turn signals and checking mirrors and blind spots can help drivers make safer decisions.
Busy roads can become more hazardous when a crash causes sudden congestion. Drivers approaching stopped or slowing traffic should reduce their speed gradually and remain alert for vehicles changing lanes or entering the roadway. Avoiding distractions can help motorists recognize hazards and react sooner.
