We love it when autumn finally comes to Greenville. The leaves change, the weather cools, and we get to welcome our customers back for Mazda service that helps them meet the seasonal driving challenges ahead. Here are a few fall driving safety challenges and the ways we can be your partner in safer driving.
Be Mindful of School Buses
School resumes in the fall, so drive cautiously when approaching or driving near a school bus. When the red lights start flashing and the red arm extends, stop your car for kids to get on the bus safely.
Look out For Foliage
Autumn leaves may look lovely, but fallen foliage obscures puddles, hides pavement markings, and conceals potholes. Maintaining your brakes and tires will ensure you don’t lose traction and stopping power, while our alignment services come in handy if you hit an obstacle you didn’t realize was there.
Prepare for Increased Rainfall
Is it time to replace your wipers or replenish your wiper fluid? Autumn is a rainy season, so you must be ready for it and ensure maximum visibility.
Drive Safely in the Dark
The sun will begin setting earlier in the day, resulting in more driving in the dark. Make sure the headlights are clean and working correctly. Misaligned and dirty headlights will decrease your visibility on the road.
Be Aware of Animals on the Road.
Drive slowly and carefully, as deer accidents are more common in the fall. Proceed with caution if you spot a deer because they travel in groups.
