Spring showers and flowers are often joined by a handful of seasonal driving hazards. Spring weather can be temperamental, and it's essential that you are prepared and have the knowledge that your Subaru is ready to face any challenge. In fact, many of the Subaru brand’s models have earned "good" ratings in all areas from the IIHS, the highest possible rating.
Before you hit the road this spring keep these driving tips in mind:
? Prepare for spring storms like tornadoes, flash flooding, and hail. Subaru vehicles, such as the Forester, are known for their all-wheel drive and offer better control in inclement weather.
? Expect construction and be wary of potholes. Deep potholes can throw your car out of alignment or worse, forcing you to buy a new wheel and a new tire.
? Perform maintenance. The Subaru service center can check fluid levels, tire pressure, suspension system, and brakes to help reduce risk of a breakdown. Full tires can reduce the damage caused by potholes and other road hazards.
? Share the road with pedestrians. Warm weather brings out motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists, who have the same rights as vehicles on most roads.
Rest assured, your Subaru is prepared to safely get you through rough weather. Every Subaru comes loaded with safety features, including 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, stability control, rear view camera, and an array of airbags. Not to mention, drivers can expect superb traction at all times with the Subaru all-wheel drive. Your friends at Tom Wood Subaru wish you a happy spring and season of safe driving!
