What Should Drivers Know About Two-Car Crashes?
Two-car crashes can happen when drivers fail to notice changing traffic conditions, misjudge another vehicle’s movement, or make an unexpected maneuver. Intersections are especially important because vehicles may approach from several directions.
Drivers should reduce speed when approaching intersections and watch for vehicles entering from side streets. Keeping a safe following distance can also provide more time to react when traffic slows suddenly.
Children riding in vehicles should always use an age- and size-appropriate restraint. Properly installed child safety seats and booster seats can help protect younger passengers during a wreck.
Seat belts remain important for adults and children alike. They help keep occupants secured inside the vehicle and can reduce movement during a sudden stop or collision.
