Tips for Driving During the Autumn Season

10/28/2013

5 Comments

 
*School is back in session, and this year seems to be busier than ever. Always be aware when driving in school zones. There isn’t always a blinking light to let you know when you’re in one. This also means more pedestrians on the road, more traffic, and more cops.

*The crisp fall mornings are lovely, but they can often lead to fog. Remember to use your low beams, as your high beams will make visibility more difficult. Keep space between you and the car in front of you, and give yourself extra time!

*As our mornings get colder, frost will start to appear on your windshields in the morning. Make sure to keep a scraper in your glove box and get your car started a few minutes early!

*Keep your windshield clean, both inside and out. With the change of seasons and the time change, the sun will often create glare and shadows that we’re not used to. Make sure to keep your windows as clean as possible to improve visibility. Also keep a pair of sunglasses handy!

*Watch for wet leaves on the road. Wet leaves can be potentially as dangerous as ice or snow on the road. Don’t go over the speed limit or make abrupt stops any time, but especially not when the road is covered with leaves.

*Check your washer fluid. Summer is gone, but the dead bugs and sap are still on your windshield. Give your car a nice washing, and leave the remnants of the summer behind.

*Remember that there are fewer hours of daylight. It will be getting light later and getting dark earlier. This means that there will be more bikers, runners, and children on the streets while it’s dark outside. Be cautious, especially at dusk.

It is a very informative article. If the density of fog is more it could cause an accident. As the visibility is too low, it is impossible for drivers to see through the dense fog and hence could causes an accident. So, be careful, when you are driving through a road covered with dense fog.
