The winter and driving shopping season is right around the corner.
We need to remember that in the winter, with snow and freezing
conditions, our driving tactics need to change. Accidents will
occur on the snow and ice that wouldn't on dry pavement. This
article will cover the important things to remember and how to
drive safely.


Settling Your Motor Vehicle Accident Claim Yourself
Handling a property damage and/or personal injury (motor vehicle) claim yourself is a simple and routine procedure for ordinary individuals to process on their own ! The .....
The most important thing that everyone needs to remember is
that you cannot stop as fast on icy or snow covered pavement.
You need to drive slower which will give you more time to slow
down. When you need to come to a stop anywhere give
yourself more time by starting to slow down earlier than usual.
When driving behind other vehicles make sure that you leave a
bigger distance between you and the vehicle in front. This way
you will have more time to slow down and also react to
unexpected stops.


Slow down everywhere and anything that you do. Take turns
slower, drive on straight roads slower and slow down alittle even
on slight curves in the road. Anytime you have to turn that
steering wheel ease of the gas appropiately. You need to be
deliberate in all your actions. Anytime that you need to push
on the pedals, gas or brake, do it easily and steady. When
making a turn ease that steering wheel slowly and don't make
fast jerky movements.


Always be aware of your road conditions. Even when it is not
snowing the road will ice up in places where there is moisture.
This will happen more during the overnight hours when it is
colder and there is no sunlight. Sometimes a spot will look just

wet but is is actually ice, "black ice" as we know it. Be aware of
bridges and overpasses. These road surfaces are always
colder and therefore freezes up first. If you do find yourself
on ice just coast, don't brake or turn the wheel, until you pass
over it.


Drive defensively. Always be on the lookout for other motorists
that are making all of the mistakes. Approach intersections
cautiously looking for other skidding vehicles. Keep an eye
in your rear view mirror for vehicles hitting you from behind.
Keep enough distance away from everyone so you don't
become part of their accident.


Even after taking all your precautions you will eventually find
yourself involved in a sliding situation. When you do, DON'T
PANIC! Take your foot of the gas and don't hit the brakes.
You then want to steer your car into the skid. People always
hear that but don't know what to do anyway. If you are driving
straight and the rear of your vehicle is sliding to the left and the
front of the vehicle to the right, then you need to countersteer
your car to the left. If the car corrects itself then straighten the
wheel back out. Sometimes the car will over correct itself and
now it is sliding the other way. If this happens just
countersteer again in the opposite direction.


Follow these tips and hopefully you won't become the next
accident statistic. People with suv's are not immune to these
rules. Remember not to drink and drive, stay off of your cell
phone and always wear your seatbelt.
