Q:How can I prepare for driving in the snow?
A:
Below are some tips and advice for driving in the snow.
• Prepare for your journey before you set off and check the weather forecast to find out driving conditions
• Plan your route to use main roads wherever possible
• Remove all snow and ice from your car to ensure maximum visibility - ensure headlights and number plates are clear of snow
• Give your vehicle a once-over before you leave - check tyre tread and pressure, water and anti-freeze levels
• Keep the following items in your car: an ice scraper and de-icer, mobile phone with fully charged battery, torch, first-aid kit, tow rope, blankets, warm coat and boots, jump leads, snow shovel, warning triangle, and an old sack or rug (to put under the wheels if you do get stuck)
