Late-Fall Road Hazards: Wet Leaves and Black Ice Ahead
• Wet leaves on roads reduce traction, similar to ice, making it harder to control your vehicle.
• Black ice, a thin, transparent layer, forms in freezing temperatures, blending with the road and causing skidding.
• Shorter daylight hours reduce visibility; ensure headlights are clean and functioning, especially in poorly lit areas.
