Traveling Too Fast for Conditions Accidents

Drivers are expected to obey speed limits and modify their speeds for certain road conditions that warrant it. Here are three types of conditions in which people should not be driving too fast:

Hazardous Weather Conditions

The weather conditions in Lafayette, Louisiana, are mild and temperate, but rainstorms and downpours can create a driving hazard at any time of year.

When a torrential rainfall is pelting down on cars, it reduces visibility. Also, drivers need to operate their windshield wiper more frequently because the rain is blurring their front window, and even the wiper itself can make it harder to see.

When hazardous weather conditions suddenly reduce people’s ability to see, then they must take precautions. Sometimes it is appropriate to slow down. Other times drivers may need to pull over and wait for the weather to clear. The rain can also make it more slippery out, so the driver will need to watch for these conditions too.

When drivers just plow ahead and ignore hazardous weather conditions, they may cause an accident.

Construction Issues

Construction work is a necessary part of maintaining the roads. You may get frustrated when you see the construction signs, but you know that it is part of life as a driver.

When there is construction on the road, it changes the way drivers are supposed to drive. Most of the time in construction zones, the speed limit is reduced. If someone continues to go at the same speed as before, they may be liable if they cause an accident.

Also, construction on the road sometimes dictates new driving conditions. In these situations, there may be a temporary sign instructing drivers on how to proceed. If drivers just speed right past the signs, ignoring the new traffic pattern, then horrific consequences could follow.

Traffic Problems

No one likes being stuck in a traffic jam. Whether the slowdown is due to a car accident or just rush hour, slow-moving traffic can be a headache for anyone. It can be especially irritating when you are in a hurry.

Sometimes drivers will do illegal things to get around traffic problems, such as pass cars on the shoulder. Other drivers may try to weave in and out of tight spots without enough room. All of these actions can lead to an accident. When the traffic is jammed up, drivers just have to wait until the way is clear.

If you were in an accident due to these or other similar issues, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (337) 777-7777 for a free consultation on your case with a member of our team.
