Safe Driving Tips in Colorado Winters

Auto accidents can wreak havoc on your body. While chiropractic care is available and effective for auto accident injury treatment, our team at Aim High Health in Denver, Aurora, and Wheat Ridge hopes that you never have to be treated for auto accidents. That’s why we’ve put together this guide of tips for driving safely in Colorado winters.

Drive Cautiously

Speed limits are set for safe conditions. Winter weather is not exactly safe. While it might take longer to reach your destination, drive slowly and safely.

Trust Your Gut

Understandably, you have places to be, and the weather doesn’t change that. However, if you feel uncomfortable driving, it’s a good sign that wherever you need to go should wait until conditions are safer.

Go Easy on the Brakes

Ice is not always easy to see. It’s best not to take chances by slamming on your brakes. Gradually apply pressure to them instead, which will be easier if you are driving slowly.

Don’t Overlook Traction

Traction is a very important factor in being able to handle wet and slippery surfaces. Keep a check on your tires. Maintain traction by driving at steady speeds and stopping and starting gradually.

Avoid High Beams

Bright lights can bounce off the snow and ice, severely impacting your vision. They can also temporarily blind oncoming traffic. Keep to your low beams to be safe.

How to Address an Auto Accident Injury

Sometimes, no matter how many precautions you take, accidents happen. When they do, we provide customized chiropractic auto accident injury treatment plans. Whiplash treatment is one of the top reasons for chiropractic visits when it comes to auto injuries. While we do offer whiplash treatment, we also treat herniated discs, sprains and strains, dislocations, headaches, and more.
