McAleer Law
NORCROSS, GA, February 26, 2013
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The
Atlanta car accident law firm, McAleer Law, would like to discuss the importance of safe winter driving. Although this city often has warm winters that are free from the snow and ice that plague states farther north, it has had its fair share of storms in the past. It only takes one wrong move for an accident to happen, which is why Atlanta residents need to know how to drive in the winter. When the seasons change, so should your driving habits. Although it is important to practice defensive driving techniques all year-round, these are critical when snow comes into the picture.
The
accident lawyers in Atlanta know many residents underestimate the climate, which is why they also see an increased client base when winter weather-related injuries come about. According to Charles McAleer, Founder of McAleer Law, "We in Atlanta are fortunate that Mother Nature is kind to us in this area, but it is always better to be safe than sorry. Even small patches of ice can turn any road into a hazard, which is why residents need to know how to drive in the winter. You may not need to use these skills every year, but at least you will be ready when the time does come." The
accident lawyers in Atlanta offer some helpful tips for safe winter-weather driving.
How to Prevent an Atlanta Car Accident in the winter
- Drive slow and increase the distance between your vehicle and others on the road; you will need the extra space if you start to slide
- Accelerate and brake slowly; never make sudden shifts in speed, as this is the quickest way to lose control of your vehicle
- Make sure your vehicle is free from snow and ice; you want all of your lights to be clearly visible to other motorists. The
Atlanta car accident lawyer knows that poor visibility is the number one cause for winter driving accidents.
- If you start to skid or slide, lift your foot off the accelerator and slowly depress the brake. Turn the wheel in the right direction in slow, controlled movements to bring the vehicle back to center
- Don't forget to pack an emergency kit; a blanket, flashlight and reflectors are all essential tools that you want to keep in your vehicle
