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 #5🤔Familiar roads, unfamiliar conditionsYou know this road. You’ve driven it dozens of times. You could probably manage it with your eyes closed.Please don’t, obviously.The problem is that a familiar road can feel reassuring even when the conditions have changed completely.A dry road can become slippery after rain. Low sunshine can suddenly dazzle you. A bend that felt straightforward in summer may now be covered in wet leaves, while a country lane may have mud, standing water or a tractor leaving a little extra countryside behind it.Rural roads can be especially challenging because of sharp bends, narrow lanes, limited street lighting and hazards hidden around corners.Trident Top Tip: Drive the road you’re on, not the road you remember.Keep reassessing the conditions. Adjust your speed, positioning and following distance as necessary, and make sure you can stop safely within the distance you can see to be clear.Your experience of a road is useful. Assuming it will always behave the same way is not.We still have a couple more of our Trident Top Tips to help you stay safer. If you can’t wait that long you can check out our blog post.

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 #4🚶🚴 Pedestrians and cyclists: Spot them before they spot youHere’s an Autumn fashion mystery: why do so many of us swap brighter summer clothes for darker colours just as the evenings get darker?Black coats, dark hoodies and rainy pavements can make pedestrians difficult to see. Cyclists may also be harder to spot in poor light, particularly if their lights aren’t being used.Add a wet windscreen, reflections and glare from oncoming traffic, and someone crossing the road can be surprisingly easy to miss.This doesn’t mean pedestrians and cyclists are responsible for making themselves visible. As drivers, we need to look carefully and anticipate that other people may be difficult to see.Trident Top Tip: Look beyond the car in front.* Scan pavements and road edges.* Check carefully for cyclists before turning across their path.* Look around parked vehicles, where pedestrians may emerge.* Approach crossings and junctions at a speed that allows you to stop safely.Don’t just look where you expect people to be. Look where they might be.Over the next few days posts we will share more of our Trident Top Tips to help you stay safer. If you can’t wait that long you can check out our blog post.
