BRONX, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the winter season approaches, the Law Offices of Stuart M. Kerner, P.C. wants to remind all drivers in New York City of the hazards that come with winter driving. Cold temperatures, snow, and ice can make roads slippery and visibility poor, making it more difficult for drivers to control their vehicles and see other cars on the road.

"Winter driving can be challenging, especially for those who are not used to it," says Stuart M. Kerner, founder of the Law Offices of Stuart M. Kerner, P.C. "It's important to take extra precautions when driving in these conditions to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road."

One of the most important things drivers can do to prepare for winter driving is to ensure their vehicle is in good condition. This includes checking the brakes, tires, windshield wipers, and fluid levels. Drivers should also ensure their headlights, taillights, and turn signals are working correctly.

"Drivers need to be aware of the added weight and reduced visibility caused by snow and ice on their vehicle," says Kerner. "It's also important to clear all windows and mirrors of snow and ice before driving to ensure maximum visibility."

Another important aspect of winter driving is slowing down. Speed limits are posted for ideal conditions and must be adjusted for inclement weather. Slowing down on icy or snowy roads, drivers should allow more time to react to unexpected situations, and can reduce the likelihood of a crash.

Drivers should also leave more space between themselves and vehicles on the road. This can give them more room to maneuver and react if they need to avoid a collision or if a car suddenly stops.

"Additionally, it's important to keep a safe distance from snow plows and other maintenance vehicles," adds Kerner. "These vehicles are working to improve road conditions, but they can be difficult to see in low visibility conditions and create snow clouds that can distort drivers' perception."

Drivers should also be aware of black ice, a thin layer on roads, bridges, and overpasses. This type of ice is difficult to see and can be extremely slippery. Drivers should be cautious when approaching these areas and take extra care to slow down and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.

"Finally, if you find yourself in an accident, call 911 immediately," says Kerner. "The Law Offices of Stuart M. Kerner, P.C. is here to help with any legal issues arising from the accident. We offer free consultations and protect our client's rights."
