⚠️ Amber Weather Warning – Drive Safely! ⚠️
With the upcoming amber weather warning and recent icy, snowy, and rainy conditions, we’ve seen an increase in road traffic collisions and vehicles leaving the road. Please take extra care when driving.
✅ Top Tips for Driving in Ice & Snow:
Slow Down: Reduce your speed and drive to the conditions. Increase Distance: Leave at least 10 times the normal gap between you and the car in front. Gentle Movements: Avoid harsh braking or acceleration—make all movements slowly and smoothly. Clear Your Car: Remove all snow and ice from windows, mirrors, lights, and roof before setting off. Check Tyres: Ensure tyres have good tread and are properly inflated. Carry Essentials: Warm clothing, a blanket, phone charger, and emergency kit can make a big difference if you get stuck. Plan Ahead: Check weather and traffic updates before travelling.
Stay safe and look out for each other on the roads! |
