Slick Roads to Blame for Multiple Car Accidents on I-90

Idaho State Police and Post Falls Police reported multiple car accidents on I-90 due to slick roads. Parke Gordon Law Firm has handled hundreds of car accident cases that were caused due to hazardous road conditions. Here are some tips to keep you safe when driving on slick roads.

Tips for Driving on Icy Roads

1. Slow down! Even when driving a vehicle with four-wheel drive, be cautious and drive under the speed limit.
2. If you can, stay home and stay off icy roads.
3. Pay attention to the weather conditions; especially during Winter months.
4. Avoid braking. It is better to slow down naturally instead of using your brakes on ice.
5. If you are sliding, turn into the slide. Turn your wheels in the direction the rear of your vehicle is going. Be careful though not to overcorrect.

Liability for Car Accidents on Icy Roads

Just like a driver will be held liable for an accident on dry roads, a driver is liable for causing an accident on icy roads. When you get behind the wheel knowing road conditions are hazardous, take extra precautions. Drive extra carefully, slow down, brake properly and do not tailgate. A driver may be charged with reckless driving even if they are going the posted speed limit when road conditions are icy or otherwise hazardous. Panic braking or not steering properly and causing you to lose control of the car can also expose you to liability if you cause a car accident.
