COCOA, Flor.– Spring has finally arrived and while we're excited for the wonderful weather to come, the new season is also an important time to review some spring driving safety tips so that we can cruise into summer without a worry in the world.
Spring Driving Safety Tips
-Do a quick vehicle check. You know what they say: April showers bring May flowers. Spring rain hinders driving visibility so making sure your lights and wiper blades are in good working order is important to ensure safety on the road. If your lights are dull or burnt out and your wiper blades can't properly remove water from your windshield, you won't be able the road ahead. While you're checking your lights and wiper blades, check your tire pressure too. Winter weather can deflate your tires, and as a bonus proper tire pressure can help to increase fuel economy.
-Reduce your speed in the rain. Wet pavement increases your vehicle's stopping distance and spring's first few rainy days can result in exceptionally slippery roads due to oil and other leaked fluids that have built up on the roads. So when the rain starts to fall, make sure to slow down and increase your stopping distance.
-Be especially aware of your surroundings. As the weather warms up, people and animals become more active outdoors. Whether it's motorcycles, bikes, runners, or walkers, always make sure to look twice before making any traffic maneuvers. Plus, animals become more active too as they come out of hibernation and begin mating season, so keep your eyes and attention on the road ahead of you.
