The video briefly and concisely explains what you should always look out for in autumn weather.
The roads are often cold and wet in the fall. It therefore makes sense to check the tires: Are the tread depth and air pressure still correct? Both factors are important for grip and braking power.
Experts recommend a minimum tread depth of three millimetres for summer tires. Winter tires already lose some of their important properties below a tread depth of four millimeters.
Visibility, safety distance and speed
What else you need to watch out for is explained in a short 41-second video. It covers visibility, safety distance and speed. And you can also find out why you should not switch on the main beam in drizzle and fog.
It is important that you clean the inside and outside of your car's windows thoroughly on a regular basis and check the wiper blades.
Take indications of game crossing seriously
Autumn is mating season for many wild animals. They are often more active and move around in larger herds. It is therefore essential to pay attention to road signs indicating the presence of wild animals, be ready to brake and reduce your speed at blind spots.
During dusk and dawn there is an increased risk of game crossing, especially in rural areas.
