Why do collisions occur at Curves?

Collisions occur at curves because the speed on the approach is too great. Before approaching a curve you will likely notice a yellow warning sign. Unless they have very steep slopes… Hills are usually not marked.

What do we call the space you can move your vehicle into to avoid a collision?

A space cushion is the clear space around your vehicle that moves along with you as your vehicle moves. Depending upon your speed and driving conditions, you want to maintain this safe distance or cushion between yourself and the vehicles near you. This margin of safety is in front, behind, and on both sides of you.

What is the process of driving through a curve at normal speed?

When driving through a curve at normal speed, accelerate gently after the midpoint of the curve. reestablish a 3-second following distance on the vehicle ahead. avoid a collision with another vehicle.

What happens when your headlights shine into fog?

High beams will shine directly into the fog or precipitation, which will reflect the bright light back to you. During snowstorms, snowflakes and ice crystals will reflect even more light back to you. The dangerous result is a wall of glare, which will make it even more difficult for you to see the road.
