Explanation
Crashes often happen when drivers go faster or slower than other vehicles on the road, and excessive speed for conditions is a major cause of accidents. On the other hand, vehicles moving in the same direction at the same speed cannot hit one another. When all vehicles on the road are moving at a consistent speed, it allows for better traffic flow. This is why it's important to always drive at a speed that is appropriate for the current weather and traffic conditions.
