  • Avoid speeding in such road geometries because steering control becomes unreliable.

  • Nobody in the car wore seatbelts, and that omission likely worsened survivability.
  • Seatbelts could have improved odds for Diana and Dodi in a high-impact collision.

  • That procedural difference explains the long transport time to hospital after the crash.
