Why are rear-end collisions so common on interstate highways?
I commute every day to work on the interstate and the ride is about an hour. I’d say that about once a week, I see a rear-end collision on the interstate, but I’m not sure why. Why would rear-end collisions be more common on interstate highways?

- Speeding
- Traffic congestion that causes interstate traffic to come to a stop
- Construction zones
- Distracted driving or poor use of cruise control
