While FARS is a valuable resource, it does have certain limitations. These include:
Underreporting: Some fatal crashes might not be captured, particularly those occurring in rural or remote areas. Data Accuracy: The quality of the data depends on the accuracy of the initial reports from various sources. Lack of Context: While FARS provides detailed information on fatal crashes, it may lack contextual data that could be relevant for comprehensive analyses, such as socioeconomic factors or detailed health histories of the individuals involved.
