Remember that Medicare will never call you uninvited and ask you for personal information. ______________________________________________________________________ Hazards of Driving in the Fall Fall is here and with it comes gorgeous autumn colors, apple cider and jack o-lanterns. But the fall and winter months also bring hazardous driving as the temperature drops and freezing precipitation threatens. Here are our top tips on reducing your chance of an auto accident during the cold weather months: Ice and snow are not the only dangers. Falling leaves can make the road very slippery, especially when they are wet. Leaves will also obscure traffic lines and road hazards like potholes. Reduce speed and avoid braking whenever driving on leaf-covered roads. Watch for leaf peepers! Our out-of-state visitors are here to enjoy the foliage but often drive slowly and make unpredictable stops. Be patient so all arrive safely at your destinations. Cold temperatures at night may create morning frost and icy spots on the road. Some of these may not be visible and are common on bridges, overpasses and shady areas. Slow down especially during early morning hours. Another autumn morning hazard is fog that can accumulate in low places or around water and trees. Avoid using your high beams – instead, use fog lights if you have them. Decrease your speed and leave plenty of room between your car and the one ahead. Sun glare seems to be worse in the fall and spring months, especially when the sun lines up perfectly with east-west roads. Make sure your windshield is squeaky clean and free of streaks. Wear your sunglasses and slow down when visibility is hampered by bright sun glare. Fall is deer mating and migrating season. Watch out for these animals as they dart into the road, particularly at night. Remember – if you see a deer, slow down because there probably will be another one right behind! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you or a loved one has been harmed by any type of personal injury or has been denied Worker’s Compensation or Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, it’s important to get an attorney experienced in these types of cases involved immediately.
