Staying Safe on Spring Break

When the temps start rising and the cold winds start to die down, it can only mean one thing. The arrival of spring is always highly anticipated, especially after those winter months where everything seems to be a bit too grey and a bit too cold. People tend to migrate south in droves, in search of heat and sun and beaches and everything fun. But in this rush to get on spring break and to enjoy the warmer weather, there are some risks and dangers that can present themselves along the way.

DRIVE WITH (EVEN MORE) CAUTION.

You should, of course, always be a cautious driver. As we’ve mentioned in a previous post, driving always has its risks, but there are certain times that you need to be even more on your A-game. When everyone is heading to Panama City Beach or high-tailing it to south Texas, things can so easily go awry. Far too many put getting to the destination as a higher priority than taking their time to be safe along the journey, and accidents can happen as a result.

Before going on a road trip, take your car in for a checkup, or run through your turn signals, headlights, brakes, and more to ensure that everything is functioning as it should. Remember to think defensively as you drive, and to not make any assumptions (such as assume that the motorcyclist who’s one lane over can see you). Leave a good amount of distance between your car and the car ahead of you, and practice safe passing techniques. These might all seem like little things, but more often than not, it’s the little things that result in an accident when they’re overlooked or forgotten.

Your spring break should be fun, exciting, relaxing, and the type of week or long weekend where your only concern is applying enough sunscreen. And yet, things sometimes happen that can turn your terrific trip into a terrible memory. If this happens to you, speak with our law firm and personal injury lawyer Roger Fincher to see if you have a case worth pursuing.
