Collisions by Primary Violation 2013


1 – “Speed Too Fast” does not necessarily mean the person was exceeding the speed limit but rather the person was traveling too fast for the conditions at the time.

2 – “Other” includes less common violation such as Unsafe Passing and Operating with Faulty Equipment.

3 – “None” refers to drivers involved in a crash without committing a violation. These instances are usually the result of uncontrollable forces such as falling debris or animals in the roadway.
