Spring brings warmer weather, longer days, and beautiful scenery—but it also presents unique driving challenges. Rain, potholes, increased traffic, and even wildlife crossings can all impact road safety. As the seasons change, now is the perfect time to review your car insurance policy and ensure you’re prepared for spring driving conditions.

Spring Driving Hazards

1. Rain & Wet Roads

Spring showers can lead to slippery roads and hydroplaning. Be sure your tires have good tread and your windshield wipers are in top shape. If you’re involved in a weather-related accident, comprehensive and collision coverage can help cover vehicle repairs.

2. Potholes & Road Damage

Winter’s freeze-thaw cycle leaves behind potholes that can cause serious damage to tires, suspensions, and alignments. Check your policy to see if your collision coverage includes pothole-related damage.

3. Increased Wildlife Activity

As animals become more active in the spring, there’s a higher risk of deer and other wildlife collisions. Comprehensive insurance helps cover damage from hitting an animal, so review your policy to ensure you’re protected.

4. More Cyclists & Pedestrians

With warmer weather, expect more people on bikes and foot. This increases the risk of accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists. Consider higher liability coverage to protect yourself from potential claims.

Review Your Car Insurance Policy

Spring is a great time to:
✅ Check your deductibles and coverage limits
✅ Look for discounts if you’ve had safe driving habits
✅ Bundle policies for potential savings
