Avoiding Rear-End Collisions – Light Vehicles

The potential for severe damage increases in rear-end collisions due to the disparity in motion between the two involved vehicles. It becomes even more alarming when a van or truck hits a smaller vehicle from behind. This course's emphasis is on the prevalent causes of rear-end collisions and provides guidance to light commercial vehicle drivers on how to lower their chances of causing such a collision.
