AAA reports that most Motorists are not prepared for Winter Weather3 out of 5 People Don’t have Winter Driving Kits in their Vehicles
According to data from the Federal Highway Administration, each year, 24 percent of weather-related vehicle crashes occur on snowy, slushy or icy pavement and 15 percent happen during snowfall or sleet. “The safest place to be during adverse weather conditions is indoors and that’s not always possible” said Montrae Waiters, AAA spokeswoman. “It is imperative that motorists prepare their vehicles before winter conditions hit.”Simply following safe driving habits like planning ahead, driving distraction free, and taking time to prepare your vehicle for winter weather driving conditions can help ensure you stay safe in the elements. According to a recent AAA Consumer Pulse™ survey, 47 percent of motorists are concerned with skidding or losing control of their vehicle while driving in winter weather. AAA recommends the following winter driving tips:
The AAA Consumer Pulse™ Survey was conducted online among residents living in the Southern Region of The Auto Club Group (Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee) from October 20th- November 3rd, 2014. A total of 549 residents who have driven winter weather within the past year completed the survey. The survey has a maximum margin of error of ± 4.2 percentage points. Overall survey responses are weighted by gender and age within state to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the adult population (18+) in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.
