As we turn the clocks back and head into shorter days, drivers across Maine will notice a big change on the roads: less daylight during the evening commute and a lower sun on the horizon. While changing the clocks may seem like a small adjustment, it can make a big difference in driving conditions.

Be alert and remember to: “Stay Safe and Arrive Alive!”

If you were injured anywhere in Maine, contact the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein for a free case evaluation. We are available 24/7 in all 16 counties.
