Driving Tips

• Drive more slowly then usual.
• Maintain a greater flowing distance then you would in fine weather. Avoid sundden breaking or sharp turns - these can cause skids.
• Be aware of black ice, which is particularly slippery - it can appear as a glossy sheen on the road but is sometimes impossible to spot.
• Slow down on bridges, flyovers, in tunnels and shady patches on the road. If you are travelling at dawn, be wary of the frost.
• Be seen - use your headlights in rainy, ice, snowy and dark conditions.
• Whenever you travel, check the conditions before you head of, expecially as it gets darker and when conditions get worse.
• It's illegal to drive through a closed road - don't put yourself and others at risk.
