Driving in Autumn: Dark Nights, Wet Roads and the Return of the PotholeWe promised to share our top tips on keeping yourself safer as the nights get longer and statistically more accidents happen. Top Tip #3. đ§ď¸ Rain, spray, mist and fog: Can you actually see where youâre going?Autumn weather has a talent for changing its mind halfway through a journey.One minute youâre fine; the next, youâre following a lorry whose tyres are producing enough spray to recreate a small waterfall across your windscreen.Rain, spray, mist and fog all reduce visibility. They can make it harder to judge the speed and distance of other vehicles, spot hazards and work out whatâs happening further ahead.And if your windscreen is misted up, your wipers are worn or your glass is dirty, things get even harder.Trident Top Tip: If you canât see clearly, donât drive as though you can.* Keep your windscreen clean inside and out.* Check your wipers and top up your screenwash.* Use dipped headlights when visibility is reduced, and make sure you know how to operate your lights.* Use fog lights only when visibility is seriously reduced, and switch them off when visibility improves.* Reduce your speed and increase your following distance.Automatic headlights donât always respond as you might expect in mist or fog, especially when the sky is still relatively bright. Check your lights rather than blindly trusting the AUTO setting.And hereâs that familiar message again: less speed, more space. We promise weâre not saying it just to fill the blog!Over the next seven days posts we will share more of our Trident Top Tips to help you stay safer.

Driving in AutumnTrident Top Tip #2 đWet roads, slippery leaves and the pothole lotteryAutumn rain can turn an ordinary road into a slippery one surprisingly quickly. Add wet leaves, mud from agricultural vehicles and standing water, and youâve got a few extra things to think about.Wet leaves can be particularly slippery on bends, at junctions and in shaded areas. Meanwhile, puddles can conceal potholes and damaged road surfaces.And trust us, discovering a pothole the hard way on a dark, wet night, with traffic whizzing past, is not the autumn adventure anyone ordered.Neither is arriving at a busy roundabout and struggling to see the road markings through the reflections.Your tyres matter, too. They help your car grip the road, steer and stop. Check their condition, pressure and tread depth regularly. The legal minimum tread depth for cars in the UK is 1.6mm, but donât leave tyre checks until youâre close to that limit.Trident Top Tip: Less speed + more space = more time to react.* Slow down to suit the conditions.* Leave a bigger gap between you and the vehicle in front.* Brake and steer smoothly.* Keep your tyres in good condition.The Highway Code advises that stopping distances are at least doubled on wet roads. Its usual minimum two-second following gap should also be doubled in wet conditions.And remember: the speed limit is a maximum, not a target. Driving at the limit isnât always driving at a safe speed.Yes, weâre going to keep mentioning speed and space. Thereâs a reason!Over the next few days posts we will share some more of our Trident Top Tips to help you stay safer. If you canât wait that long you can check out our blog post .
