Tips: Drive safely in the fall - see

1. clear view

Due to the darkness, fog and rain have worsened in the autumn. That's why it's important to be on the move with clean windows and mirrors. The windshield must be outside and especially inside (in any material) to reduce cleaning. Check the wiper blades and water before filling with antifreeze. In addition, it is recommended that the daytime running light in low-visibility conditions be slightly obscured: the light sensor detects very little fog and, in most vehicles, the taillights with daytime running lights.

2nd speed adjusted

Leaves and wet roads in a slippery fall. As a result, the braking distances are longer. Therefore keep a greater distance in front of your car and increase the braking power. Adjust your speed to the road conditions and the visibility. Remember, especially in the fog, that you should always be in sight to stop it. The challenge is the right balance between slow and not slow. If you drive too slowly, you will encounter the obstacle, the challenge, the overtaking and may surprise a faster driver.

3. Behavior in animals

At sunset and at night on the rural fields and along the woods with wild animals to tell. As a result, you need to adjust the speed and be ready to brake. As soon as you see an animal on the roadside or on the street, you should try to scare it with a horn. But try to avoid dangerous evasive maneuvers. It could collide with a tree or a car driving in the opposite direction.

4. electronic control

Check all lights again and replace defective lights. At dusk, in fog or rain, it is not only important that you see as much as possible, but that other road users have seen it too. It is also recommended to check the battery. At low temperatures, it is mostly older cars where landfills are more common.

5. Good team

It is therefore recommended to check if there are jumper cables on the board. If you do not need it yourself, someone else may be grateful for your help. It is also recommended to use snow chains on board. Even if it is a flat country without snow, you are in Switzerland, fast over the snow line.

6. Wear winter tires

In accordance with the general "from O to O" rule, mount winter tires in October and roll at least until Easter. The TCS recommends a tread depth of at least four millimeters and a maximum of eight years to avoid fall and winter. You should also check the pressure regularly, eg. B. the negative pressure for the handling of evasive maneuvers and the braking maneuvers for the worst.

Autumn tips for cyclists and pedestrians Wear for cyclists In dark light clothing, preferably with reflective elements (sunscreen vest), also in the helmet. Warm clothing and gloves must not be restricted. Radbedienung. High quality lighting (does not blink), white front and red back. Bike lights on time. Reflectors on the front in white and red on the back, on the pedals in yellow. Types in good condition with sufficient profile and reflective sidebands. Check the air pressure as indicated on the tire. Check the brakes regularly. Equip cyclists with a bell and fenders. Chains, derailleurs, oil cables at regular intervals. When turning or at the roundabout a unique character, which also applies to cyclists. Never in the blind spot of other vehicles. Never too close to the parking pass. It is always the fault of other road users. Never consider going to power first. For pedestrians especially children and the elderly are at risk. In particular, children who are threatened by road traffic, stand out. Good shoes and light in the dark, possibly with reflective elements with embedded clothing. You can have the torch. Enough time and tolerant attitude towards other road users to practice. Show the intentions clearly before crossing the street. Eye contact with the driver search. The right of way is never absolute. Vehicles need some distance to stop. This distance increases in autumn and winter. Pedestrians can not cross the street when the vehicles are so close that they can not stop. Note: Vehicles coming from different directions. Do not play with the telephone or with headphones, this leads to more and more frequent accidents. Eyes on the street! The zebra crossing only enters when the vehicle stops. Never cross before or after a bus, a tram or an obstacle on the road. If the zebra crossing is connected to an island, each half is considered an independent pedestrian. The tram has priority over the pedestrian area. Pedestrians have priority in 20 common areas but should not impede traffic unnecessarily. In 30 areas pedestrians have priority only on pedestrian crossings. Pedestrians have pedestrian crossings with traffic lights an unprecedented traffic light.
