Please Drive as Safely as Possible in Houston’s Icy Conditions

Houston does not get winter weather often. That's why the latest rash of icy conditions has made the roads so dangerous, resulting in many Houston car accidents that can injure you and your loved ones.

Icy conditions make the roads very slippery. Cars and trucks experience slower braking times and the possible loss of traction in turns. Cars can even slip off the road or slide into oncoming lanes if traction gets especially bad.

Icy conditions are made worse by the relative inexperience of area drivers. People are usually not prepared for winter weather, and vehicles are not outfitted with proper add-ons such as snow tires and 4WD.

The results of this combination of bad winter weather and inexperienced drivers are clear: serious Houston car wrecks can occur as a result. These wrecks, which may be head-on, side-swipe or rear-end crashes, can result in serious injuries to those involved, including:

• Broken bones
• Back injuries
• Neck injuries
• Head injuries
• Loss of life

The lesson to be learned from these wrecks is also clear: you need to drive as cautiously as possible in winter weather conditions. Be aware of other drivers who may be speeding and out-of-control, protecting yourself and your family from the consequences of these drivers' negligence.
