With Memorial Day coming up this weekend, the unofficial “start” of summer is just a few days away. Although summer driving in Minnesota excludes snow, ice, and sleet, the upcoming season brings new challenges to our highways, country roads, and downtown streets. And, if you haven’t noticed the sea of orange barrels and cones on your commute yet, consider yourself lucky, as road construction is in full swing.

When it comes to purchasing decisions for the household, women are major influencers these days. With a knack for online research, budgeting skills, and a willingness to wait until the right time, women have excelled at purchasing vehicles.

While the snow may be gone for good (we hope!), spring weather does have it’s own driving hazards to be aware of. Rain, mist, and fog can produce new challenges out on the roads. And remember, cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians are more apt to be sharing our roadways at this time.
