Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect crash severity? Higher speeds increase stopping distance and the force of impact, which tends to make injuries more severe in a crash.
Why is distracted driving dangerous? Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds reduces a driver's ability to react to sudden hazards, raising the risk of a collision.
What should I do immediately after a car accident? Check for injuries, move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and exchange information with other drivers while waiting for emergency responders.
