Dangerous Spring Driving Conditions–
-Rain, rain, go away. But before it does, it creates slippery roads and possible flooding. Wet pavement and road conditions drastically increase stopping distance and can reduce your vehicle's handling. Plus, as puddles grow, road flooding can hide potholes or cause you to hydroplane.
-Not only does spring bring rain, but occasionally it brings hail as well. Those little ice balls can not only cause damage to your vehicle, but they create dangerous driving conditions as well. So if possible, try to stay home until the storm passes.
-One hazardous spring driving condition that we're already experiencing, are the crazy potholes. This winter was especially rough, and after long months of ice, snow, salt, sand, and snow plows, the roads are falling apart. Keeping your eyes on the road ahead of you, can help you maneuver around the potholes if possible.
- As the weather warms, drivers must keep an eye out for even more distractions on the road. Not only are motorcyclists and bikers excited to hit the road when warm weather arrives, but animals become more active too as hibernation ends and mating season begins. So when making traffic maneuvers, be aware of motorcycles and bikes, and always keep an eye out for excited animals that are especially active during dawn and dusk.
This year especially, we're all excited to get outdoors and enjoy some nicer weather. Just make sure to stay safe on the road by avoiding spring's driving dangers.
