Tips For Driving Safely This Spring



The worst of winter’s hazardous driving conditions may finally be behind us, but don’t let that fool you! There are still plenty of things drivers need to watch for on the road. Here are a few things drivers should keep in mind as they begin their journey into the spring season:

      Monitor evening temperatures. If you live in an area that still has some snow, be prepared to deal with possible icy patches. Especially if that snow melts during the day and refreezes at night!
      The end of winter means the end of hibernation for a number of animals. Be ready to watch for an increase in the number of critters trying to cross the road.
      Warmer weather means an increase in the number of cyclists and motorcycle riders on the road! Be cautious and triple-check your blind spots to avoid an accident
      Fluctuation in temperature during the changing seasons means road deterioration! Be vigilant. Focus on your driving, keep your eyes high, and be careful when it rains: the water can mask just how deep any potholes may be.
