It's getting colder as the year comes to a close! While it's rare down south, ice can still form on the road. It's very rare for a southern state to salt roads in the winter like they do in New York, so black ice has a tendency to form when the evening dew gets cold enough to freeze overnight. Thankfully, it's usually warm enough to melt during the day, but driving in the morning is still very dangerous. Black ice is difficult to turn or stop on, so make sure to drive slow, and slowly press on your breaks. Give yourself enough time to slowly come to a stop at a light, stop sign, or what have you. Pressing on your breaks too fast with result in your car skidding across the pavement, similar to hydroplaning in very rainy weather. All too often I see people blaring down a 40mph street going 60mph, only to find them in a ditch around the corner because they had no traction. If not for the sake of other's road safety, please drive cautiously for your own personal safety too. It's better to be late to work than to miss days because your injured in the hospital or worse. Be safe, and on cold days, assume all wet spots on the road are ice, or have ice.The month has nearly come to a close! Have you spotted our Touching Hearts Senior Care Kia?
