Damages
We’ll start with the immediate costs:
Property and vehicle damages cost tens of thousands of dollars–even more so if the vehicle or damage is beyond fixing and needs to be replaced.

This list of car models with the most accidents won’t come as a surprise to many adults, especially parents with teen drivers.

If there’s one thing that all truckers can agree on, it’s that other cars on the road should always heed the blind spots and limited stopping power of brakes on a semi.
