Spring Driving Tips | Albany, NY
As we begin to switch gears from winter to spring it’s important to remind yourself that driving in spring is a lot different than driving in winter. With the warmer weather coming in there are a lot more distractions to keep an eye out for. For example, more pedestrians, cyclists, runners, and especially construction workers! Plus, the winter has left its mark on our roads with huge potholes that can cause lots of damage to your vehicle. So while you’re rocking out to your favorite song with the windows down, it’s important to keep an eye out for the road ahead! Check out our spring driving tips below and if you’re in need of a new ride for all of your spring adventures, be sure to browse our available inventory now and schedule a test drive!
Be On The Lookout For Potholes: Winter weather takes a big toll on our roadways, which leads to some pretty nasty potholes. If your speeding down the road and don’t slow down in time and hit a pothole, then chances are that your vehicle is gonna have some damage, serious damage. Damage can include a punctured tire, bent rim, suspension damage, poor alignment, and exhaust system damage.
Slow Down For Spring Showers: Did you know that roads are most slippery when it first starts to rain? This is caused by rainwater mixing with contaminants on the road, such as oil and grease. Make sure to increase your following distance to allow for proper braking.
Watch For Animals On The Move: Animal activity is up when the weather starts getting nicer. That means keep an eye out and drive slow especially for animals like deer that are known to be out at dusk and dawn.
Watch For Pedestrians: Similar to animals, people tend to be out and about more when the weather starts getting warmer. Whether that means there are more walkers, cyclists or kids play hopscotch. Be sure to slow down especially in residential neighborhoods and busy streets.
Share The Road With Motorcycles: Spring is when the motorcycle riders come out, and because of their speed and size, they may come in and out of your blind spots quickly. Be sure to listen to the sound of their bike and take a few extra seconds before switching lanes. If you are following a motorcycle, remember to leave a good amount of space in between.
Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: During the winter months, your tires lose air due to the cold temperatures, this cause your tire to be under-deflated. Vice-versa, warm weather will cause them to be over-inflated. Each situation can lead to increased wear and poor handling.
Inspect Your Tires: Spring will bring the showers and when that happens making sure your tire tread is in shape is important to the quality of your driving. Just like snow, rain makes the road slippery and having good tires will make or break your driving experience. Remember to use easy tricks the penny test to check your tire tread and regularly check your tire pressure if your vehicle doesn’t display it for you.
Pay Attention In Construction Zones: When the snow washes away and the spring days are here to stay, construction will start up again. One thing to keep in mind is that construction zones ask you to slow down for a reason, do it. Remember to…
- Be attentive. Construction workers and equipment may suddenly enter the roadway. Traffic patterns can change daily to accommodate the work being done.
- Understand and follow the signs.
- Make safe lane changes. Solid lines in construction zones mean that you should stay in your lane.
- Slow down. Fines may be doubled in construction zones. In addition, slowing down can save a life.
This blog will be helpful for you if…
- You are looking to learn a little more about DIY maintenance for your vehicle
- You are looking to do a little spring maintenance and change your vehicle’s filters
- Want to know the difference between Cabin Air Filters and Engine Air Filters
- You want to know when is the right time to change your filters
Two Types Of Filters:
Cabin Air Filter: Usually the cabin air filter is located right in your glove compartment or beneath your dashboard. This will need to be replaced regularly to avoid polluted air from coming into your vehicle, and more importantly, being breathed in by you.
Engine Air Filter: The engine air filter prevents dust, dirt, debris, etc from getting into your engine, which could cause serious damage if that were to happen.
How Often Should They Be Changed?
Knowing when to change your air filter is important to you and your vehicle’s health! It is important to check your owner’s manual for this answer because every car is different, but the rule of thumb is to change after every 12,00-15,000 miles. But it is suggested to change them after pollen season so that allergens are pushed into your cabin once the filter starts to deteriorate.
Now that you have all the information you need to do some DIY work with your air filters, be sure to have your owner’s manual nearby for any questions that might surface. Of course, if you run into an issue or decide that you need some help, our team is always ready to step in and service your Nissan! Just schedule a test drive and stop into Destination Nissan for all of our service needs!
