According to the Center for Traffic Management, motorists are almost 40% more likely to have an accident in the autumn than in the winter. But that is not the only reason why car owners decided to reduce their journeys with their own transport. With details – the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
It turns out that 66% of motorists have less confidence when driving in the winter season than in the warm season. According to traffic control, the number of accidents with the appearance of frost and snow increases on average by 20%, and the main cause of accidents is non-compliance with the speed limit.
According to the results of a survey initiated by our colleagues from Avto.ru, 42% of car owners do not want to drive for fear of not being able to control the car on a winter road. For example, 23% of the survey participants believe that it is simply more difficult to drive a car, 18% are afraid of knowing the risks of longer braking distances, 11% are concerned about poor visibility. Nearly a third of respondents stop driving due to long preparation for use, including warming up the engine, cleaning the car from snow and ice, and clearing snowdrifts.
Meanwhile, 85% of “steersmen” said they try to be more careful during the cold season. At the same time, most accidents happen in the evening: from 5 to 9 p.m.
And motorists are less likely to use personal vehicles because of an indecent increase in the price of components and consumables. What the AvtoVzglyad portal discovered during its own sociological research.
