As summer winds down, we begin to welcome signs of fall:  cooling temperatures, a new school year, changes in the landscape, earlier sunsets to name a few.  Not only might your routine change when summer ends, but your daily commute is affected by shorter days and weather changes as well.  You might even be drawn to drives through the countryside if you enjoy the changing foliage.  

Pleasant though it might be, the changing season also calls for you to stay alert.  Cooling temperatures often bring rain, and  when combined with falling leaves can be as slippery on the roadway as ice.  Deer are more visible and not just on rural roads, especially from October to January and typically from dusk to dawn,  Days get shorter as fall sets in; so you'll find yourself driving more often in the dark.  Traffic patterns and volume change once school is in session, causing greater caution when driving.

Here is what ERIE Insurance says about being prepared when driving this fall. 
This advice should make your driving time safe as you enjoy the fall changes.
