Severe weather conditions can strike at any time particularly at this time of year so it is important to make sure you and your vehicle are ready for it!

We suggest ensuring that your vehicle has sufficient screen wash in it, ideally one that has freezing protection down to minus 20 ͦc. Having a supply of de-icer is also recommended alongside an ice scraper. In case of an emergency having some kind of torch is important, as well as having some spare warm clothes in your car.

If you want to know more information on winter driving the government have produced some informative leaflets which can be accessed in the following link. It is also useful to check the highways agency traffic updates before setting off on your journey as they provide information on any potential weather issues and driving conditions.
