The weather in autumn is quite changeable and during this period of the year you can expect anything. Rain, fog and early twilight have a significant impact on road safety.

In such conditions, drivers should be more careful and attentive. It is necessary to choose a more restrained driving style and a safe driving speed, take into account the condition of the roadway and visibility, maintain a safe distance and lateral interval, and avoid unnecessary lane changes, advances and overtaking.
