Colorado Winter Car Accidents – Maintain Visibility
It does not matter how skilled you are at driving if you cannot see. Through Colorado’s harsh winters, drivers must maintain visibility. Snow, slush, ice, and rain form a blindfold for your car’s windshield if you do not take precautions. Our Denver car accident lawyers offer these tips to help reduce Colorado winter car accidents.
Maintain Visibility During Winter
Prior to embarking on your journey, all drivers should take time to clear all snow and ice from your windows, mirrors, and headlights. Given the severity of Colorado winters, it has proven wise to invest in a high-quality snow brush or ice scraper. Again, it is vital for drivers to maintain visibility while driving. When drivers cannot see, accidents are 30 times more likely to happen. In addition to cleaning off your windows, mirrors, and headlights, our Denver car accident lawyers remind readers to following the following tips as well:
- Make sure your windshield wipers are in top form all year round;
- Keep your washer fluid filled and make sure the fluid has antifreeze capabilities (not all do);
- Drive at least eight seconds behind snowplows to avoid accidents and spray from snow and salt;
- Carry de-icing solution in your trunk just in case. Save money by making your own using a mixture of half water and half vinegar;
- Leave space between the cars around you (spray from other cars is one of the most common barriers to visibility).
