Spring Showers bring May Flowers, right?! Well, they also bring their own set of hazards for vehicles on the road in North Texas. As we finish out the winter season and head into spring (hail season) it is important for us to be aware of the hazards we can and will be facing.
Animals
While we start to thaw from winter and enjoy more time outside, so do wildlife. Be aware as you are driving, many animals are starting to scavenge for food and look for mates, and they may end up in the middle of the road. Stay vigilant to avoid hitting any of these critters.
People
As stated before, people are starting to enjoy more time outside. More people are walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be particularly vigilant in areas where there may be children.
Winter Roads
Even though we have had a relatively mild winter, winter weather can still wreak havoc on roadways. Keep an eye on new potholes or unevenness that have been created since the fall season. Potholes can lead to a slew of damages, including poor alignment, suspension damage, bent rims, and more.
Spring Showers
In North Texas we are prone to spring storms. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces your vehicle’s tire traction and handling. Driving slowly and keeping up with your tire maintenance can make a big difference while driving on slick roads.
Hail
Hail is another component to our North Texas spring storms. Hail can shatter windshields and leave dents all over the body of your vehicle making it hazardous to you and your passengers. The best thing you can do in a hail storm is be in a building, not your vehicle. To protect your vehicle from hail you should park it in a garage, look for covered public parking, beside large buildings (on the opposite side from the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle in old blankets.
If you do end up in an accident or a storm that has left your vehicle dented, call us at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas.
