October might be all about pumpkins, costumes, and spooky fun — but nothing sends chills down your spine faster than car trouble. Whether it’s a sudden breakdown, a slippery road, or a surprise deer in your headlights, fall driving can be full of frightful moments. That’s why this season, we’re reminding drivers to prepare for the unexpected and stay road-ready all month long.
The Spooky Side of Fall Driving
As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, road conditions start to change. Wet leaves, foggy mornings, and earlier sunsets can all make driving more dangerous. Add Halloween trick-or-treaters and deer crossing season, and it’s easy to see why extra caution matters.
Watch out for these October road scares:
- Deer crossings: Fall is peak season for deer movement, especially at dusk and dawn.
- Leaf buildup: Wet leaves act like ice — slick and unpredictable.
- Fog & darkness: Visibility drops quickly, making it harder to spot hazards.
- Distracted driving: More traffic and Halloween events mean more distractions.
