HAVE A LAUGH
Though San Diego’s fall and winter may not bring snowstorms, it can still create tricky driving conditions, like slick roads during rain showers. As the weather changes, it’s the perfect time to ensure your vehicle is ready for a season of safe drives. From giving your car a tune-up to renewing your auto insurance, we’re sharing some of the best ways to prepare for the unexpected on the road ahead. TUNE UP YOUR VEHICLE. With all the rain this time of year, ensuring your vehicle is in good working order is essential. Check your tires to make sure they are fully inflated and the tread is in good condition. You’ll want to give your car a whole tune-up so your brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater, and exhaust system are up to speed. PLAN AHEAD. Inclement weather can change quickly, so it helps to plan ahead before your drive even begins. Pack extra blankets and mittens in the car in case you face any long delays on the road. You should also look at the weather predictions for the area you are heading to and give yourself extra time to travel, as there may be unexpected delays and reduced speed limits. Allow more distance between yourself and other vehicles because slick roads can be more challenging to slow down on. Visibility is typically lower during this time of year, so keep your windows clean and remain observant of other cars. RENEW YOUR INSURANCE. This is a great time to ensure your auto insurance is up to date and add additional coverage if needed. While California’s minimum coverage might seem like enough, it often falls short if you’re in an accident, particularly with an uninsured driver. Uninsured motorist coverage can give you an avenue to pay for injuries or damages sustained in an accident with an uninsured driver. By taking a little extra time to prepare your vehicle and review your insurance, you’ll be well-prepared for the cooler, rainier months ahead. Though winter weather in San Diego can be unpredictable, with the proper preparations, you’ll be smooth sailing through the whole season!
