5 Spring Driving Safety Tips

Spring spurs many pleasant changes - longer days, warmer temperatures and an array of colorful plants.

While enjoying these seasonal stimuli, keep your senses equally tuned to a less-than-ideal arrival: changing road conditions.

Here’s some help.

Avoid puddles. They can conceal potholes and decrease braking ability.
Use caution on bridges and overpasses. Thawing snow and spring rain freeze quicker when the temperature drops.
Watch for deteriorating pavement. It’s more dangerous to drive on, and can damage your car, too.
Be extra alert for pedestrians. Warmer weather brings out walkers, bicyclists and many playing children.
Give your car a full inspection. Winter’s extremes can take a toll. Check your vehicle thoroughly for damaged or worn parts, including windshield wipers and headlights.

No matter what you drive - auto, motorcycle, RV or boat - your American Family agent can help you find the right insurance protection all year round.
