A daily commute delayed by slow-moving traffic can add additional stress to an already hectic morning. If a car accident is contributing to the delay, the commute maybe even more stressful as drivers:
- Swerve to avoid debris in the roadway
- Switch lanes if their driving lane is blocked
- Slow down to analyze the auto accident scene
As the driver’s stress levels increase, their driving may become forceful and erratic as they try to advance through the crash scene. If you find yourself injured in a crash on your commute to work contact an Orlando car accident attorney for a free consultation.
Stress Relief Tools For Orlando Drivers
One way to reduce the additional driving stresses that often accompany car accidents is to avoid areas affected by traffic crashes. The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) provides reports about Orlando auto accidents that are updated every five minutes. Drivers may select a county – such as Orange, Seminole, and Osceola – or FHP troop to view Central Florida accidents. The report describes the type of incident (i.e. car accident – roadblock; car accident – injuries; brush fire, etc.), the location, and additional remarks about the incident, including if any traffic lanes are blocked. Reviewing this information before starting a morning commute may help drivers determine alternate routes to their destination.
Drivers may also utilize Florida’s 511 Traveler Information System to reduce driving stresses. Drivers may sign up online to create a free custom profile to receive personalized travel information about their designated travel routes, or they may dial 511 from any cell phone or landline phone in Florida to obtain traffic information, including updates on car accidents, traffic congestion, and weather affecting Orlando’s roads.
