How to Stay Safe on the Road This Fall

As the weather starts to cool down, it's essential to take extra precautions when driving or traveling in the fall season. One of the most significant concerns is vehicle maintenance, as the changing temperatures can cause issues with your vehicle's tires, brakes, and suspension.

  1. Make sure to check your tire pressure at least once a month, and before long trips. Underinflated tires can lead to reduced traction and increased risk of a blowout during the fall months when temperatures drop quickly.
  2. The brakes on your vehicle should also be checked regularly, as freezing temperatures can cause them to become less effective. Inspect your brake pads and rotors for any signs of wear or damage.
  3. Additionally, make sure to keep your gas tank at least half full during the fall months to prevent fuel line freezing in case of a burst pipe.
