Car Accident Prevention: Driving during Bad Weather!
16. JUN, 2011

Nowadays, there are lots of factors that can lead to car accidents. Things like intoxicated driving, driver distractions and car defects are some of these factors. However, there are certain accident causes that are often taken for granted, and that includes bad weather.

Poor or bad weather and car accidents often go together. Some motorists who choose to hit the road in spite of bad weather usually get into accidents because they are not familiar of the dangers of driving under these conditions.

If you want to avoid getting into an accident during bad weather, here are some tips you may follow:

Choose a safer route – If a certain area would be more affected by the weather, then you can take another route. Remember to plan where you are going even before you get there.

Watch or listen to weather forecasts and reports – Believe it or not weather forecasts and reports help people avoid getting into accidents. There are certain weather reports that advice motorists to take different routes to avoid encountering worse conditions.

Prepare your vehicle – Before hitting the road, make sure that your vehicle is capable of withstanding dangerous weather conditions. You should check your brakes, wheels and tires, steering wheel and most especially your engine.
Avoid distractions – When driving in the middle of a storm or snow, keep your complete attention on the road. Even a single second of distraction can lead to an accident.

Reduce speed – Wet and icy roads often lead to multiple vehicle collisions. That is why drivers should maintain a steady, average speed when driving on those roads to avoid such incidents.

Beware of sharp turns – Motorists should not be in a hurry when making a turn, or else, they might lose control of their vehicles.
These are the things you should do if you want to avoid getting into an accident during bad weather. If it is possible to postpone your trip and if you think the weather conditions would be too dangerous for you, then do so and reschedule your trip some other time. Preventing an accident is much easier if you are not in the middle of it.

The weather is a natural phenomenon that no one can control. That is why you should not take these conditions for granted. If you want to know more about accident-prevention and safety precautions, you may consult an experienced Los Angeles car accident attorney.

Cant believe these shoes are so much cheaper than in Oz. Great fit, great quality and 1/2 the price ! No wonder Oz retailers complain about internet stores!

I've had this shoe for about 5 years. It had worn extremely well and is very comfortable. It is one of the few shoes I can spend hours walking in and have my feet feel good afterward. I bought them at the antique race car show at Laguna Seca from the owner who had a booth there. While I know they were designed for driving, I find them excellent for walking and workouts. The low firm sole makes them good for CrossFit training. They are very stable. For me they are reminiscent of early Adidas sneakers. Low, long, tight, lot's of laces.

The shoes fit like a glove (if you chose the right size) I typically wear size (10.5) I read while researching that they tend to run 1/2 size smaller; therefore I took a gamble and ordered size 11, it was a smart decision, research paid off,(perfect).

The shoes are very light so you don't feel feel like you have lead weights on your feet. The objestive of my purchase was for Drag Racing; however I will purchase another pair for casual use, they are that comfortable, not to mention that they look awesome.

I am very pleased with my purchase and will highly recommend them to anyone whether you race or not.
Sincerely,

These shoes are great very comfy no matter what you are doing. The plastic eyelits that hold the laces ripped mine but it was no big deal.
They are great for driving, running, and everyday use. Look good too.

Got em for $35 or so from Amazon, nice shoe for $, no brainer. I love driving in these rather than sneakers or regular shoes. Allow easier heal and toeing, and comfortable.
