Traffic & Accidents

Hello Everybody,

Winter is here in Calgary again. Today is the first day of December and as everyone can see the whole city of Calgary is white and cold. Snowing started since this morning and it is still continuing. The temperature is between -17 to -18 degree and the sky is all white and fuggy. It is really a horrible weather for driving and I advice everyone who drive to be careful and make sure you guys have all the safety features in your vehicles, such as booster cable, extra gloves, additional batteries, and emergency phone numbers. There are a few rules for driving in Calgary. For instance, people normally change their summer tires to the winter type, check their vehicles’ oil breaks and break pads, and keep more than usual distance with the rear and front cars in order to have a safe and less dangerous drive. This morning I witnessed an accident around Signal hill, which was very hard and it made a lot of damage to three cars. This accident happened due to not considering enough space between two vehicles and suddenly the light turned red and those drivers couldn’t completely control their vehicles. At the end, by calling 911 after the accident happened and having all different types of emergency cars, such as police cars, fire department vehicles, and ambulance coming to that area, you guys imagine how the road looked like and how many people got stock in traffic just because one person did not pay attention to the rules.

EVERYONE DRIVE SAFE …
