1. Prepare Your Car Before Winter Driving<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the season changes to storm weather, remember to get prepared.\u00a0This includes ensuring that your car is working properly such as tire pressure, oil levels, fluids, gas, etc.<\/p>\n

This also means adding tools to your car, such as a snow brush, shovel, etc. You have a legal obligation to clear the roof and windows of your car of all snow and ice before driving!<\/p>\n

2. Reduce Car Speed During Snowy, Icy Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drivers must always reduce their speed depending on the weather conditions \u2013 that\u2019s the law!<\/p>\n

We routinely handle car accident personal injury cases where a driver was simply driving too carelessly for the winter conditions.<\/p>\n

This includes ensuring not only your speed is reasonable, but that you are leaving enough room between you and the vehicle ahead of you.<\/p>\n

3. Stick To Plowed Roads During Winter Driving<\/strong><\/p>\n

One simple piece of advice if you must drive in winter conditions \u2013 try to drive on roads that have been cleared. This typically means main streets and avenues.<\/p>\n

4. More Than Ever \u2013 Avoid Distractions And Stay Sober In Winter Driving<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our personal injury firm helps those injured in car accidents by distracted driving such as texting and driving. Or DUI or other bad ideas.<\/p>\n

Especially in bad weather driving, be safe and stay focused on driving sober.<\/p>\n

5. In A Snow (Or Any) Car Accident \u2013 Call For Help!<\/strong><\/p>\n

While you can take all the proper steps to be prepared for New England\u2019s Winter, car accidents still occur.<\/p>\n

When you are involved in a car accident, call the police right away. Stay in your car. Seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n
