Lum explains that when drivers face sudden obstacles, their cars often spin out, especially during high-speed turns. Braking in such circumstances can worsen the situation, causing loss of control rather than avoiding the crash altogether. Nighttime driving decreases reaction speed further, compounding the risks. Such misjudgments and delayed decisions are responsible for up to 99% of traffic accidents, according to Lum, often caused by drivers underestimating their speed or the severity of their driving conditions.
