Avoid being Injured when the Road Conditions are Snowy and Icy

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Ronald Todd

Driving in Bad Weather without becoming a Traffic Accident Statistic

The best way to avoid being involved in a bad weather traffic accident is to not drive at all. However, sometimes you have to venture out in the bad weather. If you can, delay your trip until the snow plows have had a chance to treat and clear the road.

Here are some tips when you have to drive on snowy and icy roads:

  1. Decrease your speed
  2. Leave plenty of room to stop
  3. Leave at least two to three times the space between you and the car in front of you
  4. Wear your seat belt
  5. Turn on your lights to make yourself more visible to other drivers
  6. Keep windshields, lights, mirrors and windshield wipers clean
  7. Don't over steer if you start to skid on ice
  8. Take extra precautions on ramps, bridges, overpasses and side streets
  9. Be cautious of other drivers who might not be as good as you in driving in bad weather conditions
