Driving at winter time of this year can be risky. A mixture of ice, breeze, rain, snowing, fog and darkness, cold evenings can contribute to harmful road situations and auto accidents. At what time you bring your vehicle out on an icy day you are more in danger of getting involved in a road traffic accident than in the summer days. The most horrible season of the year for automobile accidents are the winter months such as Oct. and Nov. in evening hours. A good number of road fatalities happen in the low light.
As climate condition is worse in winter and autumn season, so the road conditions are more causing danger. The road conditions are kept properly by the national highways authority, a managerial organization works for the Department of Transportation, who takes are of the expressways and highway roads. Other small roads are cared by local administrative body even though a few countryside roads are not treated in any way. The national highways authority aims to decrease interruption and the number of motor car accidents by removing snow and stopping from the ice block formation.
The removing service relies on the climate prediction and there is hence room for mistake. Teams of workers are on every night ready all over the country in the winter days. They pass some time for the temperature to fall to about 1° and are so ready for the work. A mistake of passing time to be temperature near 1° is important when it reaches zero, but it is not as serious while the temperature reaches to 5°. The knowledge and experience about local roads is very important at the time while workers are doing their work. Safety road blocks are put after the evening when there is not much rush and first option to do work is in the morning time earlier than the morning busy traffic time.
Personal injury compensation claim
By bad luck, there are still lots of road traffic accidents happened with motorbikes and trucks every winter month in the UK because of unfavorable climate condition. At the same time as more than a few of the accidents happen are as a direct consequence of driver mistakes or lack of care, some can be caused by a mistake on the part of the highway authorities in responsible of road repairing works, to clean the roads. In case, a driver experiences an auto accident on account of snowy condition that can has been prevented because the authority responsible of these conditions had not clean the road, followed by a personal injury compensation claim may be filed against the related authority. When the driver gets injuries and his or her car gets damages then they might be titled lawfully to claim damages when it can be established that a person was in the wrong.
The highway authority and every council have standards for cleaning the roads. By bad luck, on time, the roads might not be cleared since they may not forecast the bad weather condition.
