Winter Roads Can Be Treacherous: Here's How to Stay Safe

Winter weather in Connecticut transforms the landscape into a picturesque wonderland, but it also creates dangerous driving conditions. Slippery roads and low visibility are just a few of the challenges drivers face.

Drawing from decades of personal injury law experience, I've compiled essential safety tips to help you avoid accidents this winter.

Top Hazards of Winter Driving

  1. Icy Roads: Over 24% of crashes occur on icy or snowy pavement, per FHWA data.
  2. Poor Visibility: Snow and fog are major factors in 15% of weather-related accidents.
  3. Rapid Weather Changes: A clear morning can quickly turn into a snowstorm.

How to Drive Safely This Winter

  • Slow down and avoid sudden movements.
  • Increase stopping distances.
  • Use winter tires and check your vehicle's maintenance.
