Driving down an open road on a bright and crisp fall day, with the leaves full of orange and gold is an invigorating sensation and one of the best parts of fall driving. While the scenery is beautiful and the weather and comfortably cool temperature, Rear View Safety has a few tips to avoid the extra hazards to driving in the fall that drivers should be aware of.
With the cooler temperatures driving conditions such as fog, frost and fallen leaves can become problematic. Leaves on the roads can be a blast to drive though, but they can also hide road markers, traffic lines and road hazards such as potholes. Especially on unfamiliar roads, make sure to watch your speed and pay attention to the road to avoid any problems.
Unlike rear view camera systems that help increase your visibility, cold mornings in the fall will often produce fog and limit your driving visibility. When there is fog on the road, make sure to reduce your speed and increase the distance between you and the car ahead of you. Also, using your headlights’ low beams and fog lights will help your visibility in the dark while in fog.
