Autumn is almost here, and that means getting ready with Acura service. Unless you’re prepared to deal with fall driving hazards, you’re putting yourself at risk during the autumn season. Avoid these five fall driving hazards with Acura service at Acura of Sherman Oaks.
Leaves
As leaves pile up on the road, it’ll be harder for your tires to grip the road. Ensure your tires have enough tread left to maintain traction, and always drive slower on leafier streets.
Rain
Between seasonal and climate changes, you never know when a sudden shower – or deluge – might occur. Ensure your brakes and tires work correctly, and also take time to check and replace your wipers to ensure prime visibility.
Schools and Kids
Come September, kids will be heading back to school during the day. That means you may need to slow down and stop around school zones at a moment’s notice. As such, you must check your brakes before the autumn season begins.
Night Driving
Especially after Daylight Saving Time hits, the sun will set earlier in the day during the fall. You’ll want to ensure your lights are working correctly so your car will be visible in the darkness.
Animals
Plenty of critters, including rodents and deer, are extra-active during the fall. They can cause serious accidents when they step onto the road, so drivers should always be alert for animals. Gas pedal and brake service can help you protect yourself against creature-related collisions.
