Please Take Care in these Adverse Weather Conditions
We don’t see this kind of weather regularly, which can often make us feel a bit nervous or unsure when driving in it. It can also be easy to forget we need to change our driving style.
It’s best not to drive at all unless your journey is absolutely essential. However, if you do have to go out in the snow, we’ve put together some helpful tips for preparing for your journey and things to think about while you’re driving that should help make sure you arrive safely at your destination.
1 Plan ahead and
check your car
2 Defrost your
car thoroughly
3 Make sure you clear
all snow from your roof
4 Take an emergency
pack with you
5 Use your gears
effectively
6 Don’t panic if
you skid
7 Leave as much as ten times the
normal gap to the car in front
We hope you aren’t affected by the weather, but if you need to get in touch just call
