Corner Spring Driving Tips (NAPSA)—The temperature’s rising, the sun is shining, flowers are blooming—spring hasarrived. With the warmer weather, motorists often take drives to enjoy the season—someleisurely, some at a faster pace. Don’t be blinded by the sun while driving—invest in sun- glassesor use your visor. “Although motorists want to enjoy springtime, it can pose dri- ving challenges,” said Mary Kimbro of the CertifiedFirst™ Network. “Glare from the sun, sudden rain showers and additional traffic can pose hazards.” Here are some spring driving safety tips: Be sure your vehicle’s windshield is clean and the wipers are in proper workingorder. Keep a pair of sunglasses in your car. Reflections or glare from the sun can limit visibility. * Watch carefully for stop signs and other traffic directives. Overgrown greenery may makesigns difficult to see. Maintain a safe following distance behind other vehicles— you never know when another motorist may stop to smell the roses. Always follow posted speed limits, especially in parks and recreational areas, and be alert for children. For more information on what to do in case of an accident, visit www.certifiedfirst.com.
