The weather is starting to warm up in North Texas. That means winter is on the outs, and spring is almost here! Of course, spring brings its own set of hazards for vehicles on the road. 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.
Winter Roads
Winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially the ice and snow storm we 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, bent rims, and more.
Spring Showers
If you have lived in North Texas for long you know are prone to spring showers. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces your vehicle’s tire traction and handling. Make sure to drive slowly and keep up with your tire maintenance; this can make a big difference while driving on slick roads.
People
The weather is warming up, people are starting to venture 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 extra vigilant near parks or where they may be children.
Animals
As people are starting to get 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 damaging, 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 from the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle in old blankets.
