Explanation
If a collision cannot be avoided, don’t panic and attempt to steer away from a head-on impact, as these are the most dangerous. Hitting at an angle can reduce the force of impact. If there are no other options, running your vehicle off-road or into a ditch is often safer than colliding with another vehicle. Always try to steer clear of oncoming traffic to reduce injuries and damage.
