The fall time change takes a little getting used to every year. Here are some reminders to help with the adjustment:

👉 Be ready for glare and darker commutes. Keep your windshield clean and make sure your lights and wipers are in good shape.

👉 Watch for wildlife around dawn and dusk. It’s also a good time to review your comprehensive coverage and deductible.

👉 Keep in mind that most people are physically adjusting to the change! Stay vigilant on the road and make sure you’re alert before getting behind the wheel.

💡Insurance tip: some insurance carriers provide discounts for clean driving records, completion of a voluntary defensive driving course, or the use of safe driving telematics programs.
