What Can Help Prevent Two-Vehicle Crashes?
Two-vehicle crashes can occur when motorists fail to yield, misjudge another vehicle’s speed, or become distracted. Intersections can be particularly challenging because traffic approaches from multiple directions.
Drivers should slow down when approaching intersections and stay alert for vehicles entering from side roads. Checking mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes can also help identify nearby traffic.
Motorists should follow posted signs and traffic signals and give other vehicles enough space to react. Avoiding cellphone use while driving helps you stay focused on changing roadway conditions.
Use extra caution on rural roads and at intersections with limited visibility. Slowing down and remaining prepared for unexpected movements can give drivers more time to avoid a collision.
