Pedestrians and Drivers should Watch out for each other this Winter

Pedestrians and Drivers should Watch out for each other this Winter
Accidents involving a pedestrian and vehicle in Florida are a common sight we often see. These kinds of accidents usually occur at night or when the weather is pretty bad.

Winter can be the worst for both drivers and pedestrians. With pavements and verges being icy or deep in snow, pedestrians are most likely to take to the sides of the road and drivers should be aware of that and also the fact that they might slip or fall suddenly into the path.

The onus should however not be taken up by the drivers only. It becomes worse when people walk on the road with dark clothing at night or with light clothing during day time in winter, which makes it extremely difficult to detect or see them. This is only common sense, which sometimes people tend to leave behind.

People must also be careful enough not to walk close to the road. The roads are icy and you never know when a vehicle can come sliding from nowhere. It is too dangerous and you never can control what will happen next, so it’s better you take precautions.

Drivers on the other hand must learn how to drive safety during winter as the risk doubles at this time of the year. A Florida defensive driving course will teach you how to drive safely on icy roads and other driving skills. This course can be available in any FL defensive driving school.
