Autumn officially starts in September each year and marks the start of leaf-filled roads, nights drawing in, icy windscreens and low, late sun. Visually, Autumn is a beautiful time of the year, and the fiery, colourful leaves create dramatic backdrops. But Autumn can also be an awkward – and sometimes dangerous – time of year for motorists.
Winter’s snow and Summer’s heat aren’t the only seasonal driving challenges. Whilst there’s a lot to love about Autumn’s beauty, the season poses some unique hazards on the road. With the leaves beginning to fall and the days getting shorter, weather conditions can vary considerably and to keep safe on the road, it’s important to adjust the way that you drive and prepare for driving in different and changing weather conditions.
