Even though the birds are starting to sing again and the bulbs are starting to show giving us the feeling that spring is in the air we are still suffering from severe frosts and icy mornings.
With this in mind it is still useful to take some simple precautions with your vehicle when out and about.

* Is your vehicle roadworthy for the conditions – check tyres, windscreen washers and wipers, lights, petrol and heater.
* In case of breakdown, carry warm clothing, a blanket and if on a long journey a flask containing a hot drink.
* Drive according to conditions – keep your speed down, avoid harsh acceleration or braking especially in icy conditions keep a greater distance between you and the vehicle in front.
* Fog lamps should only be used in fog or falling snow, don’t blind oncoming traffic by using them in normal conditions.
* Plan routes to use major roads which are more likely to have been cleared of snow and ice and gritted.
