As road hazards appear, drivers have to react quickly to avoid collisions. Not all road hazards are obvious—things like hydroplaning and black ice are difficult to detect—but others like potholes, speed bumps and dust storms can be handled safely. When people don’t drive cautiously, accidents happen. Hinkle Law Offices, LLC. can help if you’ve been involved in a collision caused by a road hazard.
A road hazard is anything—inclement weather, obstructions and road surfaces—that can make driving dangerous. New Mexico doesn’t have much trouble with ice storms, but dust storms, tumbleweeds, rock falls and hydroplaning can all make road surfaces incredibly dangerous. A road hazard doesn’t pop up on every single road, but they can arise unexpectedly. This is why drivers need to be cautious when driving and be alert to possible dangers.
If a driver’s distracted and their tires hit an oil slick or a pot hole, they can lose control of their vehicle. Speeding and road hazards also cause collisions. And in some conditions, you may not be able to safely get out of the way of a car that’s out of control.
