The first rain after a long dry stretch can make Central Indiana roads especially slick.
Oil, rubber, and road grime build up during dry weather. When rain starts, that residue mixes with the water before it washes away. Wet leaves can reduce traction even more, especially in curves, intersections, and shaded areas.
A few reminders for fall driving:
• Leave extra following distance
• Slow down before a curve, not while you are in it
• Avoid hard braking on wet leaves
• Check your wiper blades before the next storm
If your vehicle has been hesitating, slipping, or shifting differently, have it checked before poor road conditions add another problem.
