Let's be seen and visible! Here's how we can prepare for the challenges of autumn traffic

As autumn arrives, drivers face different conditions on familiar routes, leading to increased accident rates. The British AA reported a 23% rise in collisions during autumn due to early darkness and slippery roads. In Hungary, pedestrian accidents have also surged, with monthly averages rising significantly from July to December. The KTI indicates that the main risk is not fatigue but the adjustment to early darkness, resulting in more speeding incidents. Additionally, wildlife collisions peak during dawn and dusk. Despite awareness, many drivers do not adapt their habits post-time change. Simple precautions, such as maintaining a safe distance and ensuring proper vehicle lighting, can significantly reduce risks. Awareness of insurance coverage is also crucial for unexpected incidents.
