Winter is the most hazardous season of the year to drive. It is dangerous to travel on roads, sidewalks, and parking lots when there is black ice, a thin layer of clear ice. It is difficult to notice, can accumulate quickly, and is quite hazardous for cars and pedestrians. That's why it is best to suit up with a car accident lawyer. Despite being referred to as "black" ice, this dangerous hazard is just regular ice accumulating on asphalt. But up close, it seems black because the ice is so thin that it mixes in with the hue of the dark asphalt below.
Robert J. DeBry & Associates confirm any road can develop black ice, although it does so more quickly on elevated or often on continuously shaded routes. During the winter, you could have noticed notices warning that bridges ice. It is because bridges are open to airflow from below, which leads to ice formation even when outside temperatures aren't exactly 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
Drivers can't see it, their tires can't grip it, and their brakes can't function correctly, making black ice perilous. Drivers can't prepare for driving over it and the potential loss of control if they can't see it. When their tires can't grip it, drivers risk losing control of their cars immediately. When they encounter black ice and experience the characteristic slipping and sliding, many drivers immediately slam on the brakes, but doing so can be dangerous. On black ice, severe braking may cause a car to slip, giving the driver even less control and leading to accidents; hence it's best to have a car accident lawyer.
