Steps to take following a Car Accident This Holiday Season

STEPS TO TAKE TO HELP PREVENT A CAR ACCIDENT

  • Drive Careful

Slow down and keep a safe amount of distance in front of you as the weather conditions worsen. Always adjust your speed down to account for lower traction when driving on snow or icy roads.

  • Stay Attentive.

Understandably it is a busy time of the year but do not get distracted when driving. This means put that cell phone away for the time being.

  • Accelerate and decelerate slowly

Apply the gas slowly to regain traction and avoid skidding. Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads.

  • Never Drink and Drive

This goes without saying but you should never get behind the wheel when you have consumed any alcohol. This is especially true during the winter months, please always have a designated driver 

  • Maintain your Car

Check the battery, tire tread, and windshield wipers. Make sure you keep all windows clear and put in no-freeze washer fluid in the washer reservoir.
