Fall Driving Tips from Triple A (AAA)
This is the time of year when we all need to be more cautious on the road. The time change in early November obviously had us adjusting our driving habits with it suddenly being dark on our ride home. Triple A has put together a list of a few more things we need to be watching for as we drive Hudson Valley roads this Fall.
AAA also reminds us that deer are definitely out and about. Keep an eye for them on any road these days not just the one that travel through the woods. Leaves on the roads will be another issues as we finally get some rain. They can be as slippery as ice. And speaking of ice the temperatures are dropping so anything wet can freeze overnight.
