How To Prevent Head-On Collisions In California

A head-on collision is when two vehicles collide into each other, front-ends first. Head-on collisions are uncommon, but they often cause fatalities or serious injury.

Head-on collisions occur when the driver of a vehicle crosses over the center line and another driver is coming from the other direction. They also take place when a driver drives the wrong way on a highway off-ramp or moves into a divided highway on the wrong side.

Always pay attention to pavement markings. These will tell you if you are driving in the right direction. Keep an eye out for Do Not Enter and Wrong Way signs.

If you see a driver drifting into your lane head-on or entering the highway the wrong way, you should:

• Slow your vehicle immediately by easing off the gas and pressing the brakes
• Flash your headlights and hit your horn as a warning
• Move to the right of the oncoming vehicle.
• Try to move into any clear area, such as a shoulder
• Drive off the road if you have to
