Autumn weather conditions make the roads more dangerous.
This reminder was issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus.
BELTA reports this.
So, what risk factors should a motorist take into account in the fall?
Rain
The autumn period may well turn out to be rainy.
The driver must remember that rain leads to several adverse consequences at once.
Firstly, visibility is reduced. Secondly, traction with the road surface is impaired.
Thirdly, the first drops that fall, combined with dust and oil splashes, can form a film on the roads. As a result, the surface will become slippery.
However, this problem will persist only for the first time. Later, the water should clean the coating.
Puddles
Prolonged rains lead to the formation of large puddles.
The driver should not forget that such accumulations of liquid can hide deep potholes.
If possible, you should drive around puddles.
In addition, it is necessary to reduce speed in a timely manner to prevent skidding and loss of traction.
November
A large number of wet leaf blades can turn the road surface into a rather slippery surface.
To avoid problems, you need to reduce speed in time and maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
In addition, it is necessary to clean the car from fallen leaves so that they do not clog the air ducts and the area under the windshield wipers.
Fog
In foggy conditions, visibility is reduced.
In such a situation, the driver should turn on the low beam and fog lights.
In addition, you must not rush or make sudden maneuvers.
Short daylight hours
In the dark, a driver must be extremely careful and attentive, especially when approaching pedestrian crossings and schools.
In addition, it is necessary to periodically check the condition of the lighting equipment.
