A two-vehicle collision at intersections is not uncommon. It is mostly caused by the impatience and disobedience of drivers to stop signs and traffic lights. Law enforcement and traffic agencies advise motorists always to yield the right of way to each other.
Drivers must approach intersections with caution and completely stop if the light is red. Look left-right-left before driving through, avoid speeding up to make a yellow light, and yield the way for drivers about to make a turn or coming from the opposite direction. Additionally, drive without impairment, distractions, and maintain the speed limit.
