Autumn makes its own adjustments to driving on the road. What secrets will help you adapt to changing weather? Top 9 tips for car drivers that can save lives
Weather conditions, dullness outside the window, mud and foliage create a special driving environment. It gets dark early, you have to drive with the headlights on, wash your car more often so as not to be invisible on the road. Other life hacks will help to cope with the autumn ride.
Tip 1
Buy a reflective vest, such as a safety vest. If it so happens that you need to stand on an unlit road and change wheelfor example, it will reduce the risk to life. After all, as a rule, in the fall we dress very gloomily and inconspicuously.
Tip 2
It may not be winter, but warm up the engine. Albeit not for long, but this way you create an optimal mode for the engine and reduce exhaust toxicity. And you must admit that driving in a warm car is much more comfortable than in a "freezer"

Tip 3
Revive yourself before getting into the car. After all, in the fall it is especially difficult for us to wake up and be in good shape. For example, when you warm up the engine, squat a couple of times near the car.
Tip 4
Be especially vigilant. Due to poor visibility on the road, the driver must always be concentrated. Try not to pick up the phone, otherwise you risk not noticing the pedestrian, who, of course, is dressed in black or gray, and is in a hurry to run into a warm place.
Tip 5
It is better to always keep the details of autumn close at hand. This is an umbrella, a raincoat, rubber shoes. If not for you, then passengers will definitely come in handy someday.
Tip 6
Driving on wet roads is a dubious pleasure. Do you often feel like you are sliding on water? In this case, do not panic, do not turn the steering wheel, do not throw your foot off the gas pedal. Just slowly take control back. Yes, and it is better to slow down not in a puddle, but in front of it.
Tip 7
If there is a huge puddle in front of you, try to ride with two wheels on a dry part of the road or a curb. Rainwater hides danger - there may be a hole in the asphalt, or a piece of reinforcement on which you hang.
Tip 8
If the puddles are knee-deep, then you risk losing your numbers in them. Fasten them with additional bolts - this is more reliable.
Tip 9
Don't brake too hard, even if you have super cool tires. It's not about you. And about those behind. Maybe their wheels aren't that steep?
