Shifting Lanes in Fort Worth May Cause Accidents

Do you regularly drive on Northeast Loop 820 in Fort Worth and Haltom City? If so, you should be prepared for the significant shift in lanes that took place this week. The change in road conditions isn’t permanent, but it will affect driver safety, commuting times, and stress levels for at least the next six months.

Changes in road conditions matter more than you might think. Experienced commuters are often caught off guard by even slight alterations to their driving patterns, and drivers who are unfamiliar with Fort Worth’s Loop 820 are considerably more likely to drift into the wrong lane once temporary shifts are in place. Every year, dozens of accidents in D/FW can be traced not only to reckless driving, but unexpected or unusual driving conditions. Experts suggest that lane changes often produce a spike in accidents.

Are you prepared for what happened to you in the event of an automobile accident? Do you know what information you should take down from the person who hit you? Are prepared with the rights questions to ask? And do you know what questions you shouldn’t answer?
