- Check your wiper blades: The winter’s snow, ice and salt can all conspire to wreak havoc on your wipers. Replace your wiper blades as needed and use good wiper fluid to increase your visibility.
- Watch for potholes: Be on the lookout for these seasonal hazards as they can damage your vehicle and endanger the safety of all motorists and pedestrians. If you cannot avoid potholes then slow down and travel over them cautiously.
- Watch for children: Be careful and look out for children especially as you travel through residential areas and school zones. Children don’t always look before venturing out into the street so it is up to us adults to look for them.
In short, spring can be quite a volatile season. Be sure that in your relief that the snow and ice of winter are over that you do not forget the hazards this season poses for motorists and pedestrians alike.
