Trick question! Crashes in bad conditions is caused by poor driving
First of all, if you do not at all feel safe driving in poor conditions do not even attempt to operate a car or vehicle. As a driver you are fully responsible for any/all harm that may occur to other people or property while operating a motor vehicle. Driving in poor conditions requires your absolute full attention to every single detail (turn that mobile phone OFF - turn off the radio) that is happening about you. Wet road conditions will cause loss of traction so avoid sharp turns or jerky starts or stops.Always remember that driving a vehicle is a "privilege" ... it is NOT a right. Your driving privileges can be revoked at any time for not heeding weather and road conditions. Reduce your speed by at least 10 mph in hazardous conditions. The posted "speed limit" is not how fast you must go ... rather that is the maximum speed allowed for that portion of paved/unpaved road in pristine conditions.
Healthcare workers are Humans first. We all make mistakes, and we shouldn't be judged for it. We take necessary steps to avoid errors. But , it still happens especially under poor working conditions (short staff, double shifts, no break etc...)
You shouldn't drive close at all in poor driving conditions. Give yourself plenty of space between you and the car in front of you and slow down.
