Weather Related Accidents

Weather Related Road Accidents 

In a single day or continuous days, weather can transform the most travelled roads in your city into hazardous death traps. When visibility is impaired by rain or snow and high winds create low-visibility driving conditions for drivers, crashes are more likely to occur as people struggle with poor traction on slick surfaces caused by precipitation and temperature extremes that affect driver capabilities. Roads become less safe when pavement becomes wetter or stickier because it takes longer for brake pads to dry off which may cause wheels lock up during braking making loss of vehicle control more probable due to slippery roadways from water causing ice build ups under cold temperatures and puddles from rain where frost creates patches of black ice growing larger than its white counterpart while freezing fog makes transportation almost impossible since vision is hindered even at daytime hours especially near sunset/sun or dawn.

What does a single weather event deals in a road?

Weather related accidents in statistics can be used for comprehensive yet a summary of frames of events in windows of years. Here are some of them according to Road Weather Management Program:

• Wet and slippery pavements due to rain/snow has estimated caused over 1 million crashes combined in year span of 2007- 2016, and almost 500,000+ injuries recorded in police reports, in these numbers 7,000+ were fatal casulaties.
• Slippery pavements has contributed 76% to all crashes recorded in the same year span observed.

• Icy pavement has recorded 150,000+ crashes that led to 41,000+ injuries and 521 deaths.

One of the most difficult things about driving a car is dealing with bad weather. When it rains, for example, you have to worry about your windows fogging up and visibility getting worse because water ends up on your windshield. You may not be able to see anything out there in front of you which endangers both yourself as well as other drivers around that area who are also struggling with driving conditions due to rain or snowfall - so make sure if you're going through one those types of days where we know its' gonna hit at some point during the day then make plans ahead by checking traffic before heading off into work. Or alternatively just stay home all together when there's an impending storm coming our way- why put ourselves though potential danger.
