Lack of time and stopping distance to control one's vehicle during emergency braking is the main reason for such rear collisions. The risk of vehicle rollover in high-speed collisions (High-Speed ​​Rollover Dynamics): Loss of steering control caused by a side or rear collision with a vehicle in front at high speed causes the vehicle to immediately roll upside down on the road. Lane changing discipline and attention: The cruising lane and overtaking lane on the highway should be used properly, and after overtaking, you should enter the left lane safely. In case of an emergency on the highway, immediately call the 1969 operation room or the 1990 emergency room.
