The Swiss Touring Club is warning drivers to prepare now for autumn hazards, as shorter days and a low sun make the roads more dangerous
Winter tyres should be fitted from October rather than waiting for the first snow, the TCS says, with at least four millimetres of tread remaining.
Pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooter users are far harder to spot after dark — someone in dark clothing is visible from only 25 metres away, versus 140 for reflective wear.
Drivers should also watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk near forests, slowing down and avoiding sudden swerves.
Clean windscreens, working wipers and dipped headlights make the biggest difference in fog and heavy rain.
