The Finger Lakes and Upstate NY area is known for incredibly beautiful autumn foliage. We’ve also been very fortunate recently to have some unseasonable warm weather and sunshine! But, these perfect autumn days can have a few challenges. Ray Sands Glass wants you to enjoy your fall. So, watch out for these 6 things that can cause wrecks and auto glass trouble this season.

  1. Deer Traffic – Expect to see a spike in deer sightings this time of year. Fall is mating season and deer are on the move. Pay especially close attention in the mornings and evenings as the sun starts to rise and set.
  2. Rain – Fall is often a rainy season and may bring hard rain and strong thunderstorms. Stay safe by driving carefully, obey the speed limit, and improve your visibility in the rain with Aquapel. One application will last months! It will also make it much easier to remove snow and ice this winter! For a fraction of what other retailers sell it for) and about 15 minutes an experienced Sands glass technician will apply it for you.
  3. Fog – As the weather changes, you can expect more foggy mornings and evenings. Never use your high beams to guide you through the fog. Instead, use fog lights or low beams.
  4. Slick Spots – Frost and ice can form quickly in shaded areas and on bridges and overpasses. Keep your eyes on the road and drive slowly if you suspect the roads are slick.
  5. Leaves – While fall is all about the beauty of the changing leaves, they can actually be dangerous. Wet leaves can be as slippery as ice. Use caution in areas with leaves on the road to reduce your chances of damaging your car and your auto glass.
  6. Sun – The sun’s angle during the fall creates a blinding glare. Keep a pair of sunglasses (or two) in your car and use sun visors as needed.
