Are you ready for cool weather and changing leaves?  As you prepare for the fall season, we remind you to stay safe when driving on the roads.  Here are a few driving hazards to keep in mind as the seasons change.

Autumn Road Hazards:
  • Fallen Leaves - Although fallen leaves are beautiful, they can also be slippery and dangerous when wet.  Keep an eye out for patches of wet leaves when you are driving.
  • Reduced Visibility - Daylight savings time is ending. This means that your visibility will be reduced when driving.  Use caution when driving and watch out for pedestrians and bicyclists. 
  • Changing Tire Pressure - The weather changes frequently from day to day in the fall.  These temperature changes can cause your tires to lose air pressure. Make sure they are properly inflated.
  • Sun Glare - Keep a good pair of sunglasses available in your car to counter any glare.  The sun will be rising and setting at new times that might affect your driving.
