Preparation is Key
Before you hit the road, make sure your vehicle is in good condition. Check your tires for proper inflation, brake pads, and fluid levels. Consider getting a car inspection if your vehicle is more than 10 years old.
Avoiding Falls
Falls are common this time of year due to wet roads and leaves. Make sure to slow down and use low gear when driving on slippery roads. Also, be aware of potential hazards such as fallen trees or power lines.
When driving in the rain, reduce your speed and avoid sudden movements. Use headlights to increase visibility, especially if you're driving at night or in low-light conditions. It's also a good idea to keep an emergency kit in your car, including items like a blanket, flashlight, and snacks.
