As most of us are likely to be driving in the unpredictable weather ahead, here are some Winter driving tips:

1. Visibility: Clean snow and ice off of your vehicle, including; all windows, mirrors, lights, and even the roof before driving. Avoid using water as this can damage the glass.
2. Keep an Emergency Kit: including a hazard triangle, foil blankets and a First Aid box. Find out more essentials to keep in your car below.
3. Got 20p? Check your tyre tread depth. If the outer band of a 20p coin is visible then it's time to replace your tyres
4. Check your Spare: You don't want to discover it's flat or damaged when you need it.
5. Avoid large potholes: Scan the road ahead, try to avoid them or slow down if it's safe to do so - they can damage tyres & alloys, costing hundreds.
6. Stay tuned: Listen to weather reports & traffic updates to stay informed about road closures and bad weather
