As a Seattle car accident attorney, I know the weather conditions during the winter months can be very unforgiving. Car accidents are common and difficult to avoid in inclement weather. That is why the Washington State Patrol issued a media release providing tips to maintain your car and safe driving habits during poor weather driving conditions. Some helpful driving tips listed are decreasing speed, defrosting windows completely before setting out, and increasing visibility by turning on your headlights. Vehicle equipment should also be considered when preparing to drive through harsh conditions. Some tips provided were checking for worn out tires and windshield wipers, checking fluid levels of oil and anti-freeze, and replacing any lights that may be out. Always allow for additional travel time and plan your route according to traffic and news updates.

With winter being just around the corner and snow inevitably in the forecast, car accidents are likely to increase. Knowing road conditions in advance, understanding your car’s ability, using of proper driving skills for the weather you find yourself in, and having the right emergency gear and equipment along with you in the car, can help during emergencies.
