March is just around the corner. Are you ready for spring? The weather is finally starting to warm-up in North Texas. This means winter is on its way out. Of course, spring brings its own set of challenges for vehicles on the road. 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 Storms
If you have lived in North Texas for long enough 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.
Hail
Hail is 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 during a hail storm is to be inside, not in 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.
People
As the weather warms up more and more people start to venture 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 they may be children.
Animals
Just as people start to venture out more, so do 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.
Winter Roads
Last, but certainly not least, winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially ice and snow. 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.
