Fall Leaves Make For Slick Roads: Be Alert When Driving

Roy,

what an excellent safety precaution   There are not many areas here with fallen leaves on the road, except  for the forest. 

Good advice this morning Roy. Those wet leaves can cause too many slippery roadways!

Good morning Roy. I have memories of livining the country and driving on leave covered roads. Now I long for those situations and at my age would drive more slowly. Thanks for the memories.

Good morning, Roy Kelley it's similar to hydroplaning.... always remember that vehicle can be a dangerous weapon, especially when driving fast..

Hello Roy - being and staying alert about ones surroundings is wise.  There are many distractions that impact driving.  

I remember those days....  the wet leaves are definitely slick.

Roy - absolutely very good warning.  Leaves on wet roads are very unsafe.

I had never thought about that but it makes complete sense that a road would be less safe with leaves on it than without.

Excellent warning, Roy. The leaves seem to be dumping on Charlotte streets and with the rain we've had it's very slick right now.

Good Point Roy, I remember being a teenager in Pennsylvania and driving in the fall when the leaves were wet, not good.

Hello Roy Kelley I want to say sir that I really enjoy your posts.  You put thought into each and every one, not just cut and paste. Thank you for sharing your heart and your wisdom with us.

Yesterday, we saw our first rainfall of the season.  And, there were a number of accidents caused by the slickness of the roads.

Exactly. People forget those wet leaves can be hazardous. Good seasonal post, Roy. D

Hi Roy- they also made for a slippery jogging path today!!!!!  Larry opted not to jog.
