As the leaves start to fall and the temperatures drop here at Rick Weaver Buick GMC, it’s time to gear up for a new set of driving challenges. Fall brings its own set of unique hazards that are best addressed by getting GMC service at our dealership. Here are some helpful tips for fall driving, as well as some ways fall car service can help you be safe behind the wheel.
Increased Darkness
As Daylight Savings Time comes to an end, you’ll find yourself driving in the dark more often. Reduced visibility can harm depth perception and peripheral vision, so make sure that your car’s headlights and taillights are working properly.
Kids in School Zones
With the back-to-school season in full swing, school zones will be bustling with kids and new teenage drivers. Stay hyper-aware, especially for kids crossing at crosswalks and for stopped school buses.
Fallen Leaves
Autumn means that there will be fallen leaves coating the roads around Erie, PA. These can be slippery and reduce traction, so be sure to maintain stopping distance to avoid accidents. Our technicians will also perform a brake inspection to ensure that your brakes are safe.
Tire Check
Changes in temperature that occur during this time of year can cause your tire pressure to decrease. And in addition to checking your tire pressure, our technicians will make sure that your tires have enough tread for fall’s rainy conditions.
Fog and Frost
Chilly autumn mornings can bring fog and frost, reducing visibility. Use fog lights if your vehicle has them and be sure to drive carefully. Be extra cautious on bridges and overpasses.
