By | June 13th, 2016

According to Newton’s first law of motion: “Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.” This law applies to everyone and everything inside your car in an accident.

By | June 13th, 2016

The overcorrection car crash happens when the driver turns the steering wheel too hard and causes the car to lose control. At very slow speeds, the problem is nonexistent.

They cut people off, speed, and cross multiple lanes at once on interstates. These motorists are aggressive drivers.
