Tips for Your Summer Driving

Brush up on these summer driving tips before cruising the roads this season.

Summertime is almost here! With the weather heating up and the days getting longer, many people will head on vacation, take some quality time off work, and enjoy the season ahead. While the crowds out and about increase, so does the traffic. The more people, the more risks there are on the roads. To keep your summer driving safe, read on.

People

In your neighborhood, on city streets, in parking lots, and near the beach, people are outdoors more often in the summer. Many are more focused on their enjoyment than on personal safety, too. Be aware that children will soon be out of school, and may be playing in the neighborhood streets. It's up to you to slow down and be  alert.

Bicycles and Motorbikes

Summer is the perfect time to ride a bike ' motorcycle or push! Pay attention to bikes approaching and take extra care in areas that attract cyclists.

Glare

The sun's glare is especially bright in summer, making it harder for you to see what's in front of you while driving. Always have your sunglasses handy when driving into the sun, and be ready to flip down the visor. Quite simply, if you can't see what's in front of you, slow down!

Heatstroke

Don't forget about the dangers of parking! Even if you're just popping out for a minute, it is never acceptable to leave a child or pet inside a locked car on a hot day. Anyone inside the vehicle is vulnerable to injury, or even death, from heatstroke. At an outside air temperature of 60 degrees, a car's interior temperature can reach 110 within minutes.
