Most common
What is the number one cause of rear end collisions?
traveling to closley
What most rear end collisions are caused by?
somebody driving into the back of you
What is the most frequent type of crash on an interstate?
rear-end collisions
What is the main cause of rear end collisions?

22350
What types of collisions can result from unsafe passes?
Unsafe passes can result in rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, side-swipe collisions, or collisions with fixed objects such as guardrails or trees. These collisions are often caused by sudden lane changes, improper spacing between vehicles, or misjudgment of oncoming traffic.
Roads that function as expressways and divided highways have high speeds and greater risk of?
rear-end
Rear-end crashes are the most common type of collisions because?
People tend to not pay attention in the car and don't hit the brakes fast enough. Other crashes tend to take less time to react.
Why does whiplash occur more in rear end collisions than head on collisions?
Whiplash occurs more in rear-end collisions because the sudden acceleration from being hit from behind can cause the neck to quickly snap forward and then backward. In head-on collisions, the forces are more evenly distributed across the body, reducing the likelihood of whiplash injury. Additionally, rear-end collisions often happen at lower speeds, which can still cause enough force to create whiplash.
Car safety impact from front and rear?
If you were sitting in a parked car and had to choose from being hit from the front by a car going 60 mph, or from the rear by a car going 60 mph, you probably should pick the front. Some of the reasons:air bags only activate in front-end crashes (or side/rollover crashes on newer cars), not rear-enders. Seat belts make a lot of difference in a front-end crash ... not much in a rear-end crash.the mass of the engine and transmission helps absorb the force of a head-on collisionsafety standards are more rigorous for front-end collisions, because they are much more common.Yes, it's true that in a severe rear-end collision, the gas tank can rupture, resulting in a major fire, but such accidents are relatively rare. Safety standards also require some protection for the gas tank.The reason why rear SEATS are considered safer, even though cars have less protection at the rear, is because rear-end collisions are much less LIKELY. In more common front-end collisions, the farther away you are from the front of the car, the better -- one of the reasons to put children in the rear seat.
What is the rear end impact rating for the 2010 Honda Accord?
The rear end impact rating for a 2010 Honda Accord is poor. Fortunately or unfortunately most cars and trucks in the test for 2010 received a poor rating from numerous companies that have tested for rear impact collisions.
