Tips to improve safety behind the wheel in the fall by Auto Transport Carrier

In bad weather, spending many more hours on the road becomes dangerous. Using common sense and being very careful is essential to avoid any possible scare and ensure passengers' safety.

So what to keep in mind for safe driving in the fall?

• First of all -> car ready. Start by going to the workshop regularly to have the vehicle serviced and see that everything is fine, in perfect condition. Check that the windshield wipers, lights, brakes, oil levels, tires, etc., are in excellent condition.
• Speed: When it rains, or the road is leafy due to bad weather conditions, be careful and slow down. You better slow down than have a scare.
  
  

• Seat belt: always wear it. It is essential for your safety.
• Take a good look at the road: look at the road when you drive and not get distracted, especially in low visibility areas or where there could be animals because, at dawn or dusk, there can be exits, and you will not see them.
• Do not look at the phone: many traffic accidents happen when you look away from the road to answer the phone. Think that everything can wait, so don't be in a hurry and avoid looking at it.
• Beware of leaves: if you run into leaves on the way, the wheels could slip slightly. Keep in mind that fall is the season of leaves; go slowly and assume that you can find them. You could even carry a broom in the trunk, in case you can stop to separate them in areas where it is impossible to pass like this with the car.
• Always check the weather before leaving: when you go to take the car, especially for long trips, check the weather well to know what you will find on the road and thus leave with more time or be more careful.
