As I was driving my daughter to school this morning the snow started coming down again. At first I was mesmerized by star wars like view I was getting. Then a car went flying by me. Now I know that the roads can’t be as bad as they were during the ice storm, but I thought “This idiot is going to cause an accident”.

Last week I was in Colorado skiing. As I drove up I-70 toward Loveland Pass it was dumping snow. Over a foot was in the forecast. As I crept along I was getting passed frequently. Approaching the Eisenhower Tunnel there were cars off the road everywhere. Why?  I started to wonder. Colorado gets so much snow that everyone knows how to drive in it. The way they remove snow and keep the roads clear amazes me. Then it dawned on me. Everyone is in a hurry.

SLOW DOWN. That was what I was thinking. If everyone slows down 75% of the accidents may not occur. Please be careful when driving on snow and icy roads. If you slow down, leave a little earlier and use some common sense I am hopeful that you can avoid an auto accident.  If you have been in an accident, whether it be on icy roads or not, and are not sure what you need to do check out my report on What To Do If You Are In An Automobile Accident.  For more information on me go to my website, www.mikeschaferlaw.com.
