As cooler weather arrives, road conditions change quickly. Wet leaves, low sun angles, and early frost can all create unexpected hazards. At Mid-Atlantic Propane Exchange, safety is a top priority — on the job and on the road. We encourage everyone to drive carefully as we move into the fall and winter months.
Wet Leaves Can Be as Slippery as Ice
- Slow down — Wet leaves reduce traction and can cause unexpected skids
- Increase following distance — Give yourself extra time to stop
- Watch for hidden hazards — Leaves can hide potholes, road markings, and debris
Sun Glare Can Reduce Visibility and Reaction Time
- Use sunglasses — Polarized lenses help reduce glare
- Use your visor — Block direct sunlight
- Be extra cautious — During sunrise and sunset, when glare is strongest
Frosty Windshields: Clear Vision Keeps Everyone Safer
- Allow extra time — Give yourself time to fully clear windows
- Remove all ice and snow — Clear the windshield, side windows, mirrors, and lights
- Use your defroster — Help keep the windshield clear while you drive
- Check your lights — Make sure they’re working and free of snow or ice
Drive Smart This Season
Prepare for the conditions. Drive defensively. Protect yourself and others.
