Every time the season changes and we go through a series of weather changes, we have to make other changes in our life to adjust. We change the way we dress, change the way we eat, and we even need to change the way we drive. Not everyone notices the driving changes, as some are quite slight, but they can make a big difference overall in helping to make driving in different seasons easier and safer. In order to make your driving in spring easier and safer, here are some quick and easy tips!

To start, be sure to always be aware of potholes when you are on the road.

Potholes can cause a lot of damage to vehicles, putting you and your car at serious risk. They are notably a spring issue due to them often being formed in winter but are covered by other road issues. The winter weather creates an environment that allows for erosion of roads to be easier, ultimately forming potholes. As long as you are more aware of them this season, you should be fine to keep trekking along!

Be aware of weather changes.

Spring is notorious for weather changes that can happen at the drop of a hat. It can be warm and sunny one minute and then suddenly cold and rainy the next. It is best to stay aware of weather conditions changing as you will have to drive differently in rain than in no rain. Just be prepared for a sudden weather shift and you will be fine!

Be aware of more road activity.

This tip applies to a variety of things as spring brings about more road activity in general. Firstly, there are more pedestrians out and about who are not always as attentive when walking around as they should be. As the driver, it then falls to you to watch out for them. Furthermore, there is more animal activity. Just like people go out more with the nicer weather, animals do too! With this said, some animals lack the awareness to not run out in the middle of the road the way people do. With this said, animals could jump in the road at any time, so be sure to be aware. Additionally, road work increases in the spring, so be aware of that as well and watch for signs notifying of such activity.
