Plan your journey
· Ask yourself – is your journey absolutely essential?
· Check the local and national weather forecasts; listen to local and national radio for travel information.
· Tell someone at your destination what time you expect to arrive.
· Clear your windows and mirrors before you set out

Carry rescue equipment throughout the winter

Key items:
Warm clothes and boots
Warning triangle
High visibility jacket
De-icing equipment, including scraper
Working torch
Fully charged mobile (and charger)
Jump leads
Shovel
First aid equipment
Spare bulbs
Tow rope

If you get into trouble
· On a motorway, it is best to use a roadside emergency telephone, because the breakdown/emergency services will be able to locate you easily. If you have to use a mobile phone, make sure you know your location from the numbers the marker posts on the side of the hard shoulder.
· Abandoned vehicles can hold up rescue vehicles and snowploughs. To ensure that the road is cleared as quickly as possible, stay with your vehicle until help arrives. On a motorway, stand behind impact barrier on hard shoulder
· If you have to leave your vehicle to get help, make sure other drivers can see you.

Vehicle condition
· Keep the lights, windows and mirrors clean and free from ice and snow.
· Keep your battery fully charged.
· Add anti-freeze to the radiator and winter additive to the windscreen washer bottles.
· Make sure wipers and lights are in good working order.
· Check that tyres have more than 2mm of tread and are maintained at the correct pressure.

Adjust your driving to the conditions
· Hail, heavy snow and rain reduce visibility…use dipped headlights and reduce your speed.

When roads are icy or slushy
· It can take ten times longer to stop in icy conditions. Drive slowly, allowing extra room to slow down and stop.
· Use the highest gear possible to avoid wheel spin.
· Manoeuvre gently, avoiding harsh braking and acceleration.
· To brake on ice or snow without locking your wheels, get into a low gear earlier than normal, allow your speed to fall and use the brake pedal gently.
· If you start to skid, ease off the accelerator but do not brake suddenly.

Watch out for fog
· In foggy conditions, drive very slowly using dipped headlights.
· Use fog-lights if visibility is seriously reduced, but remember to switch them off when visibility improves.
· Don’t hang on to the tail-lights of the vehicle in front. This gives you a false sense of security and means you may be driving too close.
· Don’t speed up suddenly, even if it seems to be clearing. You can suddenly find yourself back in thick fog.

Winter sun
· Dazzle from winter sun can be dangerous. Keep a pair of sunglasses handy.

Take care around winter maintenance vehicles!
· Salting vehicles

Salting vehicles travel at speeds of up to 40 mph spreading salt across all lanes of the carriageway. Drivers are advised to maintain a safe distance behind them. Do not attempt to overtake.
· Snow ploughing

Snow ploughing can throw up irregular amounts of snow that may be a hazard to vehicles. Drivers are advised to maintain a safe distance behind vehicles and not to attempt to overtake.

There are many types of head injury which can include brain injury, fractured skull, concussion, dementia pulistica, deep wounds and lacerations, or severe bruising to the brain. The injuries may take weeks or years to recover and the rebuild of someone life depending on the severity of the personal injury can in some instances be slow long and hard. As various injuries do not present themselves immediately, the signs and symptoms of head injuries may not be clearly noticeable after an accident, or head impact. The trauma to the head should be checked by a medical professional immediately if you notice changes or sudden pain, or seizures. If you feel you may have been affected and wondering if you have been injured to the head then never under estimate the dangers and condition. Some head injuries lead to disability or death as cerebrospinal fluid may be leaking from the head area.

• Blurred or double vision.

• Confusion or drowsiness.
• Loss of consciousness – this is usually a sign that more serious damage to the brain may have occurred.
• Blood or clear fluid (cerebrospinal fluid which normally bathes the brain) from the ears or nose.

• Loss of sense of smell – this is common in more severe injury and may be prolonged.

Even had I thought of trying to get my boys to do this I probably couldn’t have. Neither were coerced into any of this and neither were hurt (for very long anyway). This was just one of those moments when I had the video camera out because the boys were being fun and they provided something really very funny.

stop compensation texts
and stop injury claim texts

since we highlighted the issue last week.

These unsolicited text messages for accident compensation are annoying people the length and breadth of the UK judging by the number of hits our site is getting since our recent posts highlighted the issue about these annoying accident compensation texts.

If you have had a an accident claim message something like this….
You have still not claimed for compensation text message and are looking at how to deal with or how to stop accident claim texts, it may be difficult as are these accident compensation texts are a scam!

When you see this:
You have still not claimed the compensation you are due for the accident you had. To claim then pls reply CLAIM. To opt out text STOP

Do This: DELETE THE MESSAGE

We all want to stop accident texts as any unsolicited accident compensation text message is a nuisance and just puts our back up. The best way to deal with them when you next get this kind of text “our records indicate that you may be entitled to…or you have still not claimed the compensation you are due for the accident” Then do yourself a favour and do not respond and certainly do not text claim or stop, just delete the thing!

This text car crash claim scam is increasing day by day, if you want an updated list of the numbers that these accident compensation texts are being sent from and more resources, then take a look at this additional page.

Here are some quotes from the full report:
Britain’s ‘compensation culture’ is fuelled by media stories about individuals receiving large compensation payouts for personal injury claims and by constant adverts in the media offering people non-refundable inducements and the promise of a handsome settlement if they claim. It places an unnecessary strain on businesses of all sizes, who fear litigation and are subjected to increasingly expensive insurance premiums.

The 2006 report concluded that problems lay in the public’s increased awareness that it was possible to sue without any financial risk.

Furthermore, many adverts entice potential claimants with promises of an instant cheque as a non-returnable bonus once their claim is accepted – a high pressure inducement to bring a claim if ever there was one.

However, in my view (Lord Young of Graffham) the regulations do not go far enough: they allow companies and personal injury lawyers to advertise in such a way that encourages individuals to believe that they can easily claim compensation for the most minor of incidents and even be financially rewarded once a claim is accepted.

I (Lord Young of Graffham) particularly feel that the system needs to go further and do more to control both the volume of advertising that such companies produce and also the content of these adverts. Indeed, advertising can be seen as one of the key factors in driving a fear of litigation.

It is fair to see from these comments that there is perception that the more advertising or inducements that are being made, the more there appears to be people claiming. The only flaw in this argument surely has to be that any business must be able to promote its own services like just any other business would do. Clamping down too heavily on advertising just because it is for personal injury is surely contrary to being in a democratic developed country where sales and marketing are common place tools for any kind of business. I agree that there are probably too many adverts for “No Win No Fee” and the marketplace is very overcrowded, but will this move to clamp down on advertising stifle business for many small independant solicitors firms, some of whom are already struggling to find enough work?

The Lord Young report also wants an extension of the Road Traffic Accident Personal Injury Scheme.

Quotes:

recommend extending the current Road Traffic Accident Personal Injury Scheme put in place by the Ministry of Justice to include other personal injury and lower value clinical negligence cases…..

recognise that the Road Traffic Accident Personal Injury Scheme will need some modification in procedures if it is to be extended to a wider range of compensation claims

Compensation culture recommendations
Introduce a simplified claims procedure for personal injury claims similar to that for road traffic accidents under £10,000 on a fixed costs basis. Explore the possibility of extending the framework of such a scheme to cover low value medical negligence claims.
Examine the option of extending the
upper limit for road traffic accident
personal injury claims to £25,000.

One thing is for sure is that the personal injury claim litigation business is set for more many changes over the coming months and years and lets all hope it is for the good of the innocent injured victims of negligence.

Have you had and accident claim text message lately offering amounts such as
£3950, £3850, £3750, £3690, £3450 pounds in compensation that you are due for the accident you had? Beware of this SCAM!

Thousands and thousands of personal injury claim texts are being sent out regularly with text messages saying things like:

“You may be entitled to 6000 pounds compensation for the Accident you had. To claim for free reply with YES to this msg. To opt out text STOP.”

‘Hello, Our records indicate you may be entitled to £3750 for the accident you had. To claim free reply CLAIM to this message.
To opt out text STOP. Thank you”

“FREEMSG: Our records indicate you may be entitled to 3680 pounds for your Accident. To claim for free reply with YES to this msg. To opt out text STOP”

“You have still not claimed the compensation you are due for the accident you had. To claim then pls relpy CLAIM. To opt out text STOP”

The last one is one of many we received ourselves in the picture attached! You see even accident claim companies get accident claim texts too! A word of warning..it is a scam do not reply.
