Avoid Kansas City Accidents with Our Winter Driving Tips

The Christmas lights are going up and it’s only a matter of time till the snow comes down. Although there’s nothing like sparkling snow to set off Christmas lights, snow can be dangerous – especially while driving. Last year, icy roads caused 458 traffic deaths in the United States, 23 of which occurred in Missouri.

Here are some snowy weather driving tips to keep you safe from the Lee's Summit auto accident lawyers at Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys:

Before you leave:

1. Check the weather report.
2. If possible, stay home when the weather is bad.
3. Never warm up your car in the garage or other enclosed space.
4. Make sure your tires are in good shape and properly inflated.
5. Make sure you have at least half a tank of gas. If your tank is less than half full, your gas line could freeze up.
6. Avoid hazardous weather if you have been drinking or are feeling drowsy.
7. Let someone know where you are going, which route you are taking, and when you expect to arrive.
8. Keep extra gloves, blankets, warm clothing, snacks and water in the car.

While driving:

1. Bring your cell phone.
2. Wear your seat belt.
3. Only use your cell phone or other electronic devices when the car is stopped.
4. Slow down and allow extra time for stops.
5. Don’t use cruise control.

Remember: just because you have experience driving in bad weather, it doesn’t mean everyone else does. Their inexperience can put you at risk of a Missouri car accident even if you are driving safely.
