Rain, fog, ice, snow, high winds and bright sunshine all make driving harder, and as you know the weather can change at any time.

Weather changing without warning can cause fatal accidents for even experienced drivers so take extra care in these conditions.

• Always listen to weather forecasts.
• Clear your windows properly ice and snow.
• Use your lights.
• Remember that you may not be able to see as clearly, so drive slower.
• Take care as your brakes and tyres don’t work as well on wet or icy roads.

Hot Tip

• In the wet, leave at least double the normal distance between you and the vehicle in front.
• In snow and ice, leave even more distance.
• If the conditions are really bad, don't drive.
