Spring does not arrive all at once. Changing light, temperature, road conditions, and traffic patterns require drivers to adapt gradually rather than assume conditions have improved.
Easter marks one of the busiest travel periods of the year in Spain. Increased traffic, longer journeys, and changing road conditions make planning ahead essential for a safe trip.
As temperatures rise in March, road surfaces and tyres begin to behave differently. Heat affects grip, pressure, and surface stability in ways that many drivers overlook.
March marks the transition from winter to spring, but changing seasons bring changing risks. Warmer temperatures, shifting light, and unpredictable conditions can all affect how vehicles behave and how drivers respond.
As winter fades, pollen levels begin to rise. For many drivers, seasonal allergies affect concentration, vision, and reaction times — often without them realising the impact on their driving.
