Continuity mistake: As the popular kids are speeding past the school security guard, notice the last car a black pick up truck. There are six kids in the back of the truck. In the very next shot you can see there are only two kids in the back. Although one of the kids was crouched in front of the kids that were standing up and might have been obscured from view, the other three were sitting in plain view and have disappeared. (00:08:55)

Continuity mistake: At the party when Matt is deciding what to do after being told to leave, we can see a group playing a game with quarters and cups. The cup in the middle of the table gets knocked over, but in the next shot it is standing upright. (00:28:25)
Continuity mistake: When Eli tells all of the minions to leave the AV room, two of the kids spin a desk chair to get out of the room.

Continuity mistake: When Matt, Kelly and Danielle are at the strip club, Danielle gets up to use the bathroom. If you look in the background while she is standing up, a man in a black muscle shirt walks by a stripper. When Matt sits down, the man is gone and isn't seen taking a seat anywhere. (00:43:15)
Continuity mistake: At the Adult Convention when Hugo and Danielle are talking, Kelly lights a cigarette and blows smoke right in between Hugo and Danielle. In the next shot there is no visible sign of this smoke cloud, but when the shot goes back to Kelly, you can see the smoke. (00:53:55)

Continuity mistake: At the adult convention when Eli and Klitz begin to run from Mule, you can see them run past a gentleman in a red shirt. Mule then pushes this man to the ground, but in the next shot the man is walking again when Eli and Klitz check behind them to see where Mule is. (00:58:05)

Continuity mistake: In the strip club scene, three drinks are ordered by the characters. Later when the waitress comes to put them down, she puts down the second drink at one end of the table and in the next shot Matthew is already touching the glass on the other side of the table. Afterwards, the number and position of the glasses changes frequently between shots.
Revealing mistake: When Eli and Klitz are being chased by Mule, Eli and Klitz go over the railing and land on the table. After that when Mule lands on the table you can see the table break a split second before he lands on it.
Continuity mistake: When Matthew is trying to get into Kelly's car with Eli and Klitz, Kelly's door is locked and Matt struggles for a second. The camera then cuts away and when it cuts back he's getting in with ease.
Revealing mistake: When Matt is chasing Dannielle's car naked, it is clear that a body double is being used as he is taller and has lighter color hair than Matt.
Continuity mistake: When Kelly, Eli and Danielle enter the strip club, Kelly is in front. Yet when the camera goes in, Danielle is in front.
Answer: While it doesn't have anything to do with the overall plot, the crash shows just how much Matthew is afraid to do the wrong thing and perhaps how he overthinks things. As we know all he would be doing is missing a bit of school by getting in his car and driving from the school. The fact that Matthew is able to imagine an horrific crash of a security guard because of just skipping school shows how worried he is about doing the wrong thing.
