What percent of crashes involve two or more vehicles?

• A. 64%
• B. 30%
• C. 50%
• D. 70%

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that most crashes involve more than one vehicle. In Michigan driver training, the typical figure taught is that a majority of crashes are two-vehicle or multi-vehicle incidents, around 64%. This means, out of many crashes, the vast majority happen when vehicles interact with each other—at intersections, during lane changes, or when someone doesn’t yield, for example. It highlights why defensive driving and maintaining safe following distances are so important: your decisions affect others on the road because crashes often involve several vehicles.

The other options don’t fit because they would imply a distribution that doesn’t match the common statistic taught in driver education.
