With Fall Weather Approaching, BTPD Reminds Residents to Drive Safely
Fall weather can be unpredictable, and drivers should prepare themselves for potential road hazards. Some of these hazards include fog, wet leaves, and an increased presence of deer in the roadway.
Fall is one of the most active times for deer, and typically if you see a deer in the roadway, you should expect others to follow, as they often travel in groups.
With unpredictable weather changes, driver's need to also remain aware of the potential for wet roads to become icy, especially if the overnight temperature dips low enough.
It is also important to remember to never park your vehicle over a pile of leaves. Doing so may cause a fire to start from your vehicle's exhaust system or catalytic converter.
