Slick Roads and Summer Rains- your Atlanta Auto Insurance
We, here at Lloyd Pro Group, your favorite Atlanta Insurance Agency, love the summer months, as anyone does. The fun, sun, making great memories.. But there are some drawbacks. Well, just different things that we need to be a little more cognizant about during these months especially. It is something that can drastically affect your Atlanta auto insurance. What am I referring to? The RAIN!
This may not be as well known of a fact for many of us, but the most hazardous time to drive in the rain is the first ½ hour or so, when the rain first starts. Many of us think that the heavy downpour and lack of visibility is the worst. Although very dangerous, the first bit is actually the worst.
Why, you ask? When the rain first starts, the previously accumulated oil and dirt on the road combines with the rain to create a super slick mixture on the surface that can be as slick as ice. Generally, this first bit of rain, even light rain, can produce this mixture that sits there until it is thoroughly washed away. Remember, this is oil so even if it is raining a few minutes. This can stick to your tires for a bit too.
When they are driving in the light rain, it doesn’t even dawn on many people to be more careful because the visibility is still fairly good and they don’t understand the effects of this road hazard. Being more aware of this and driving accordingly will help in decreasing the amount of auto accidents and claims, as well as time, traffic, and injuries.
