It’s almost March! Can you believe it? The weather is finally starting to warm up in North Texas. This means winter is on its way out and spring is almost here! Of course, spring brings its own set of road hazards for vehicles. As we continue to ride out the last of the winter weather spells it is important for us to be aware of the road hazards spring can, and will, bring.
Spring Showers
If you have lived in North Texas for long you know how prone we are to spring showers. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces the traction on your vehicle’s tires. Make sure you drive slowly and keep up with your tire maintenance; this will make a big difference while driving on slick roads.
People
The weather is warming up, so more and more people are going to start venturing outside. More people will be walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be extra aware near parks or where there may be children.
Animals
As people start to venture out more, so are animals and other wildlife. As you are driving, be aware, many animals are starting to scavenge for food and look for mates. They may end up in the middle of the road, so stay vigilant to avoid hitting any of these critters.
Hail
Hail is another, and probably the most destructive, component to our North Texas spring storms. Hail can shatter windshields and leave dents all over the body of your vehicle making it hazardous for you and your passengers. The best thing you can do in a hail storm is to be in a building, not your vehicle. To protect your vehicle from hail you should park it in a garage, covered public parking, beside a large building (on the opposite side of the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle with old blankets.
Winter Roads
And last, but certainly not least, winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially the ice we have had recently. Keep an eye out for any new potholes, or unevenness that could have been created since the fall season. Potholes can lead to a slew of damages to your vehicle, including poor alignment, suspension damage, bents rims, and more. Avoid if you can.
