Inclement Weather and Driving Dangers
From rain to snow to fog, there are many different kinds of inclement weather that drivers can encounter, all of which make roads more hazardous to be on. While most drivers take greater safety precautions when driving in inclement weather, certain drivers do not, endangering the safety and wellbeing of others. Sadly, at the Sampson Law Firm, we are all too aware how many Louisville residents fail to consider the added dangers that accompany driving in inclement weather and fail to make the necessary adjustments.
How Inclement Weather Endangers Drivers
Inclement weather, such as heavy rain, hail, ice on roadways, high winds, sleet, or snow, can make driving much more dangerous, especially when all drivers do not adjust their driving to the inclement weather. In fact, inclement weather can:
- Make seeing much more difficult
- Prevent you from stopping quickly if a sudden change occurs
- Cause debris to fall in the road
- Make other drivers anxious or nervous
- Make road surfaces slippery, icy, or wet
While many drivers take into account these added dangers when driving in inclement weather, many also do not, causing serious accidents that often involved other drivers.
