Spring is here and so are our spring driving tips! Take a look at them below and be sure to put them to good use this spring season whether your travels are going to take you near or far! And if you’re ready to upgrade and adventure in a new BMW, come see our team this March! 

Share the road with others 

• Spring is known for warm temperatures and everyone’s excited to get outside and feel a little warmth. With that being said, we need to be mindful that we’re once again sharing the road with others including animals, children, and motorcyclists. Be attentive that there’s a lot going on around you now and slow down if necessary. 

Spring showers bring spring flooding 

• It’s no secret that spring seems to be the wettest season of them all. And when it first starts to rain, that’s when the roads are most slippery. Why? Well, from oil and grease on the road mixed with water, the road becomes slippery. So, decrease your speed and increase your following distance.  

Inspect your tires 

• As we said, spring is known for rain and if your tires are old and worn, you’re putting yourself in a dangerous situation due to improper tire tread mixed with wet roads. It’s important to inspect your tires, maintain proper PSI levels, and replace your tires when it’s needed. 

Keep an eye out for potholes

• Potholes are horrible and in the springtime, they seem to be at their worst. It’s very important to slow down and keep an eye out for them because they can and will cause expensive damage to your vehicle including bent wheels, punctured tires, poor alignment, suspension damage, and more!
