Collisions by Primary Behavior/Violation 2014
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 – “Unknown” includes leaving the scene, conflicting statements without witnesses, incapacitated persons.
3 – “Other” includes less common violations such as Unsafe Passing and Operating with Faulty Equipment.
4 – “None” refers to drivers involved in a crash without committing a violation. These instances are usually the result of uncontrollable forces such as falling objects, debris or animals in the roadway.
