Safe Driving

Fall means a number of wonderful things, like warm, comfy sweaters, foliage, and baking pumpkin pies. For drivers, fall also brings unique dangers to the roads. Weather conditions can be unpredictable in the fall. A bright, beautiful afternoon can turn rainy and cold in minutes. And with days getting shorter, you could find yourself commuting to or from work in darkness.

Fall driving tips:

•    Watch your speed. Drive a bit slower when faced with fall driving hazards, especially if you're driving around a school bus.

•    Keep your distance. Leave a little more space between you and the car in front on rainy or foggy days, during dawn or dusk, and in areas with wet leaves. This will give you more time to react.

•    Stick with low beams. Keep your headlights on low when driving in the fog (and rain). High beams will only cause glare.

•    Clear frost away from your windows. Frost can reduce visibility and how quickly you respond to hazards in the road.

•    Approach traffic lights carefully. Sun glare can make it harder to see traffic lights change, so approach them with more than the normal care.

•    Avoid using products that increase gloss. Washing and waxing with these products can magnify the fall's sunny glare and make it hard to see.

•    Clean your windshield, inside and out. When your windshield's illuminated by sunlight, dust particles, streaks, and smudges become magnified, making it hard to see the road.

•    Watch for wildlife, especially in the early morning and evening hours.

•    Check your tire pressure. Since fall weather rapidly changes from warm to cold, your tires will often expand and contract. This can lead to a loss of pressure.

Our Fleet Safety Committee took the initiative to post signs around the plant as a friendly reminder to our employees, take a look!
