Car accidents are common and difficult to avoid in inclement weather. As a Seattle car accident attorney, I know the weather conditions during the winter months can be very relentless and dangerous for commuters. That is why the Washington State Patrol has issued a media release supplying tips to maintain your car and safe driving habits during poor weather driving conditions. Some helpful driving tips listed are decreasing speeds, defrost windows before driving, and by turning on your headlights to increase visibility. Vehicle equipment should also be considered when preparing to drive through harsh conditions. Some equipment maintenance tips were to check for bald tires and worn windshield wipers, check levels of oil and anti freeze, and replace any lights that may be out. Always allow yourself additional travel time and plan your route according to traffic and news updates to avoid any problem areas. Obviously, poor weather conditions affect drivers in Seattle as well as outlying communities like Federal Way.

Winter is just around the corner and that means snow in the forecast. With snow and other inclement weather, car accidents are likely to increase. Knowing road conditions in advance, understanding your car’s ability, use 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.
