Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect the severity of a crash?
Higher speeds reduce the time a driver has to react and increase the force involved in a collision, which usually leads to more serious vehicle damage and injury.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Taking attention off the road, even briefly, slows reaction time and can prevent a driver from avoiding a hazard such as a stopped vehicle or pedestrian.
What should someone do immediately after a car accident?
Move to a safe location if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and make sure to notify law enforcement so an official report can be filed.
