1. Know the Seasonal Hazards
a. Fall brings falling leaves and rain which can leave roads slippery. Avoid driving through big piles of leaves, as you never know what may be hiding underneath. This is a great time to schedule your tire change to be ready for Winter.
b. Winter gives us the biggest challenge with snow, black ice, wind, sun glare and less daylight for the commute. Slow and steady driving will still get you to where you’re going. If you have them, make sure your Winter tires are on to help you with traction during the slippery season.
c. Spring provides us with melting snow and rain, which can cover roads with water. Animals are awake from hibernation and on the move. Even though driving conditions are becoming better, you need to keep an eye out!
d. Summer usually allows for great driving conditions, but it also comes with increased construction, congestion and motorcycle season. It might be nice out but that’s no reason to let your guard down.
