Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed play into how bad a crash turns out? Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force of impact, which usually means more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky? Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds at highway speed can mean traveling a long distance without seeing hazards ahead, raising the odds of a crash.
What should someone do right after being in a car crash? Move to a safe spot if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and wait for law enforcement to arrive and document the scene before discussing fault.
