Well now, above everything else we have snow to contend with now.

Here are a few tips to help you deal with this latest snow threat:

1) Don’t drive unless you have to.
2) When driving in snow, keep in a low gear and let your engine and gearbox slow you down.
3) Try to use your brake with care.
4) On slippery surfaces try pulling away in second rather than first gear.
5) Wear comfortable dry shoes.
6) Try to clear all the snow off your car including the roof, it can slip on the windscreen and obscure your view. It can also be a hazard to other road users. You can be fined up to £2500 and get 3 penalty points if the police consider your car a danger to other road users.
7) Don’t let other speeding road users put you off.
8) The AA advise: Carry an ice-scraper, de-icer, food, hot flask, blanket and a warning triangle in the car.


As the weather gets colder it may be a good idea to have your car checked over.
