It even plays a part in the crash-worthiness of your car. Check your windshield and all your auto glass for chips or cracks before you leave. Since almost any driving route can put you behind a large truck or trailer, you may incur windshield damage on the road. It's a good idea to keep the Harmon AutoGlass toll-free number handy to help you find a qualified glass service center to make a repair or replacement. When you do, always insist on only the highest quality glass, adhesives and installation.
Warm weather means road repair in many regions.
Before setting out, check newspapers or online for road projects, lane or road closures, and expected slowdowns along your route. When approaching or passing through a work zone, slow down and allow some extra space between you and the vehicle ahead of you. The crews will appreciate it, and as fines are often higher in work zones, you might save yourself a pricey ticket. The perils of winter driving get a lot of attention, but summer weather conditions can be equally treacherous. With today's advanced weather forecasting technologies, you can stay abreast of summer storms, intense heat or high winds that might threaten your travel route.
