During the month of spring, there are many great festivities and moments to see nature bloom, but that can sometimes mean negative things for our roads. Here are a few:
🛣️ 1. Watch Out for Potholes
- Snow, ice, and salt leave behind nasty potholes that can wreck your suspension or blow a tire.
- Tip: Don’t swerve to avoid them suddenly—slow down if you see one coming, and keep your tires properly inflated to minimize damage.
🌧️ 2. Rain!
- Spring showers = slick roads and low visibility.
- Hydroplaning is a real risk, especially when rain first starts falling.
- Tip: Slow down, keep your distance, and make sure your wiper blades are in good shape.
🐰 3. Watch for Wildlife
- Spring = active animal season.
- Deer, raccoons, and other critters are on the move, especially in the early morning and evening.
- Tip: Be extra cautious in wooded areas and watch for glowing eyes at night.
🌼 4. Allergies? Keep ‘Em Out of the Car
- Pollen season can hit hard—especially for allergy sufferers.
- Tip: Change your cabin air filter and keep windows up when driving through high-pollen areas.
