According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), over a quarter of the nearly six million car accidents that happen annually in the United States are caused by bad weather. If you’re traveling to the northeast or the mountains, heavy snowfall and slippery roads may be an issue, but the FHWA notes that wet, rainy conditions account for over half of all weather-related accidents. Reduce your speed and give yourself plenty of time to get there by being aware of the effects rain might have on tire traction.
So, in addition to the human stressors of the holidays that cause accidents, there’s poor weather conditions as the winter rolls in, which also play a significant role in serious and fatal accidents.
Fortunately, by taking a little extra time, using a little extra patience and staying off the roads in poor weather, we can greatly reduce our risks this holiday season.
