Stay safe on the roads this winter

With the festivities of the season and darker mornings and evenings, it’s easy to overlook a few simple steps before setting off. 

Please take a moment to prepare for winter journeys.

Driving Safely:
– Check your tyres, lights and wipers before leaving
– Allow extra time for your journey
– Keep a safe distance from the car ahead – stopping takes longer on icy and wet roads
– Pack essentials like a blanket, water, snacks and a torch in case of delays
