The DMV is expecting heavy rainfall for the remainder of the day and here are some things to be aware of:
- Weather conditions contribute to over 70% of car accidents.
- It is harder to drive in the rain due to obstructed visibility.
- Oil build-up on roads cause pavements to be slippery.
- Wet pavements cause cars to hydroplane.
- Most people don’t slow down when driving in the rain.
The takeaway is slow down, maintain a safe distance, and avoid abrupt braking if you can help it. If you have been injured in a car accident and need legal representation, Omena Law Firm is here to help you. For more information give us a call at 301-363-1604.
