Fall safety: Leaves
Wednesday, October 26, 2016
It’s easy to overlook leaves when it comes to safety — after all, they are just leaves. But don’t become complacent! Leaves can pose hazards for motorists.

And if you have leaves peeking out from under the hood of your car, make sure to clear them from under your hood so they don’t overheat your vehicle.
