Which of the following factors is NOT cited as contributing to collisions at intersections?

• A. Lane changing
• B. Running lights
• C. Jumping lights
• D. Weather conditions

Answer: (D)

Collisions at intersections are most often a result of driver actions that create conflicts between crossing or turning vehicles. Lane changing near an intersection can put you in another driver's blind spot or into their path, leading to a crash as vehicles converge. Jumping lights, or running a red light, directly violates signals and forces others to react to an unexpected move, increasing crash risk. Those behavior-focused factors are the ones typically identified as contributing to intersection crashes. Weather conditions, while they can affect safety in general, aren’t listed in this particular set as a direct intersection-collision factor, which is why it’s the correct choice for not being cited in this context. Still, it’s important to adjust your driving for weather because it can worsen any crash outcome by reducing visibility and braking effectiveness.
