Icy Roads: Tips For Staying Safe
Today we woke up to freezing rain that left roads and vehicles across Western New York coated in ice. When driving on icy roads, it’s essential that you:
- Give yourself extra time to get to work
- Sloooooow down
- Leave extra space between your car and the next
- Avoid breaking quickly or abruptly to reduce your risk of skidding
- Avoid cruise control
- Eliminate distractions as much as possible
Remember: just because you’ve adjusted to the road conditions, doesn’t mean every driver has. You will still face vehicles that weave in and out of traffic, fail to signal when changing lanes, and even drive at inappropriate speeds.
If you were injured because another driver failed to adjust their driving to icy road conditions, call 716-882-8828 today for your free case evaluation.
