Dangers of Highway Crashes
Interstate highways like I-95 are known for frequent collisions, especially in areas with high traffic congestion. Some of the primary causes of highway crashes include:
- Speeding, which reduces reaction time and increases crash severity
- Tailgating, leading to rear-end collisions when traffic suddenly slows
- Distracted driving, including texting, adjusting music, or using GPS
- Sudden lane changes without signaling, which can result in side-swipe crashes
Tips for Safe Highway Driving
To help reduce the risk of accidents on highways, drivers should:
- Obey posted speed limits and adjust for traffic flow
- Maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead
- Use turn signals when changing lanes
- Stay alert for sudden slowdowns and merging traffic
