Winter weather with snow and ice on the roads increasing the likelihood of a car crash or other accident in Scotland is a fact of life for many people who live there but, often, it is visitors who become victims.
Scots who live in rural areas, particularly, are used to the need for precautions when travelling in poor conditions. They have snow chains fitted to their vehicles, batteries are well charged and sacks and shovels are carried in case they get stuck.
Snow brings benefits to Scotland in the shape of winter sports enthusiasts who flock to the Cairngorms to enjoy ski-ing, snowboarding, skating, curling, climbing and other forms of outdoor fun without having to travel outside the UK.
Even if they are not travelling for an active holiday, many visitors go to Scotland to enjoy the scenery, wildlife, history and general ambience and a car is essential for visiting many out of the way places.
Unfortunately, lack of driver familiarity with an area is one of the causes of vehicle accidents both in terms of the layout of roads, such as unexpected turnings or narrowing of lanes, and aspects of rural life such as herds of cows going for milking.
Of course, motorists should be aware of potential danger wherever they are, not just in Scotland, and accidents occur in all weathers and on all types of roads but sometimes, however careful you are, an accident will occur which is not your fault.
Having a holiday accident is often more distressing than if the incident occurs closer to home with many practical issues to be addressed and if you think you may have grounds for making a compensation claim following a road traffic accident, it will help if you have local advice from a personal injury solicitor who is familiar with Scottish law and procedures, which differ somewhat from those of England.
