Use current location
Fall is here and that can mean unpredictable weather and driving conditions can change from perfect to miserable before you know it. Instead of being one of the better times of the year for driving, fall is actually one of the more treacherous seasons to be traveling.
When Jack Frost leaves his sparkles on the environment, the effect can be magical. However, when he visits a shady patch of highway around a blind corner, the effects can be deadly. Be especially cautious if your driving route takes you over bridges, down tree-lined streets, or anywhere shadows cross dew-laden roadways.
During fall and winter months, bridges can be especially dangerous. Because they are exposed to weather from both above and below, they will freeze over before the rest of the road, and you may not be able to tell until it is too late. Use caution when transiting from the pavement to a bridge surface by steering smoothly, staying off the throttle, and braking gingerly.
