Nashville Automobile Accident Attorney Goes Over A Few Simple Rules For Winter Storm Driving
As an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney with years of experience investigating and trying lawsuits I am still amazed how badly Tennessee drivers react to serious winter weather. There are a few simple rules that take just a modicum of thought. Be Prepared. If you know that a winter storm is coming make preparations by shopping for food, make sure your car is fueled and properly winterized and if you don’t absolutely have to go out stay at home.
If you have to go out make sure that your windshield, rear windows and outside rearview mirrors are clear. While on the road be alert for poor traction and watch your speed. The number one cause of Tennessee automobile accidents is a distraction that takes the drivers eyes, ears and mind off of the task at hand. In severe winter weather this is even more important. Keep your radio off, wait until you are stopped to use your cell phone and avoid distracting conversations with passengers.
Once the storm has passed and the roads are somewhat cleaned off another danger lurks and that danger is black ice. Icy patches that are difficult to see can send a vehicle into a spin and are the causes of most Tennessee roadway departure crashes. If you are in an accident on icy roads pay particular attention to other cars. Once those cars go out of control they can become deadly to people on the road.
