With fall here, it’s important to stay safe on the roads. Here are some helpful driving tips for the season:

Watch for Leaves: Remove leaves from your car before you begin driving. Leaves can clog ventilation systems/radiators and constrict air cabin filters. They can also create slippery conditions, so keep an eye out for patches of leaves when driving.

Adjust to Rain/Slippery Roads: Rain often comes in the fall. Slow down and increase your following distance to give yourself more time to react in these conditions.

Be Mindful of Early Darkness: In the fall, daylight savings time ends, which means days are shorter. Always use your headlights in low visibility and when the sun is down, and keep a safe distance from other vehicles.

Be Cautious in Fog: Cooler weather results in more fog developing. When it is foggy while driving, be sure to slow down and use your low beam headlights for better visibility.

Watch Out for Wildlife: You are more likely to cross paths with wildlife while driving in the fall. This can include deer and squirrels, commonly seen at sunrise and sunset.
