Attorney Trey Harrell Urges Caution During Charleston’s Winter Storm

Posted on

Charleston, SC – With a winter storm predicted to bring snow and icy conditions to the Lowcountry of South Carolina, Trey Harrell Law Office, LLC urges all residents to exercise caution if they decide to drive. While snow is a rare visitor in Charleston, it brings a significant increase in road hazards.

“While the snow might turn the Lowcountry into a postcard scene, don’t let its charm fool you into being reckless,” said Charleston Auto Accident Attorney, Trey Harrell. “Just because the speed limit says 60 doesn’t mean it’s a challenge—especially when the roads look like a skating rink. Remember, the law isn’t going to sympathize with your need for speed in a storm. Driving too fast for conditions? That’s just a ticket—or worse an accident—waiting to happen. Let’s admire the winter beauty from a safe, stationary spot, and countdown to the return of the 68-degree days…”

For those who must travel, Harrell and his firm highlight the importance of understanding South Carolina’s traffic charge “too fast for conditions.” This rule means that drivers can be held liable for accidents if they are found to be driving too quickly for weather conditions, even if they are below the posted speed limit.

“Inclement weather doesn’t only lower visibility but also reduces your vehicle’s ability to brake and maneuver,” Harrell explains. “Driving at or below the speed limit might not be safe if road conditions are poor. It’s crucial that drivers adjust their speed to maintain control of their vehicle at all times.”

The Trey Harrell Law Office, LLC also encourages drivers to prepare their vehicles for winter driving by checking their tires, brakes, and headlights. Keeping an emergency kit in the car, including blankets, a flashlight, water, and snacks, can be vital if you get stranded.

“We’re committed to helping keep our community safe and informed,” said Harrell. “Please prioritize your safety and the safety of others during this winter storm – and if you need us, Remember, Trey Helps!”
