Below is 6 Spring driving tips to keep in mind before you travel: 

1. Spring showers bring May flowers... and wet driving conditions:  

Drive Slow on wet  roads, and increase your following distance even when mist begins to fall. A small amount of water can mix with oil and grease on the road to create dangerous slippery conditions. 

2. Avoid driving through large puddles:

Driving through water can cloud your vision, impair your brakes, or cause you to hydroplane.

3. Keep your tires properly inflated: Full tires can reduce the damage caused by potholes and other road hazards.

4. If possible, go around potholes: Deep potholes can flatten tires, bend rims, and throw your car out of alignment.

5.  Share the road: Warm weather brings out pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists

6.  Understand the impact of medications while driving: Spring means seasonal allergies for many. Over-the-counter allergy drugs can have side effects or interact with other medications to diminish your driving ability.
