Visibility and insight: This is how motorists navigate through autumn more safely

As autumn arrives, the German Technical Inspection Association, GTÜ, warns of increased driving hazards. With fog, wet leaves, low-hanging sun, and early evening darkness, road conditions will become more challenging. To stay safe, drivers are advised to keep their car windows clean, ensure proper windshield wiper function, and use low-beam headlights in poor visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.

Additionally, drivers should reduce speed, increase following distances, and avoid sudden movements to minimize the risk of accidents.
