Winter Driving Tips
Your car is likely to use more fuel over winter. Don’t risk running the fuel tank low, as you could be vulnerable if you run out of fuel on a dark road or in bad weather.
It’s especially important to plan your journey in advance if the weather is likely to be bad.
Look at weather forecasts for various locations on your route and consider taking an alternative route if particularly bad weather is forecast.
Stick to main roads, as they’re more likely to be kept clear, and keep away from rural or hilly areas if possible.
If you’re concerned that the weather is going to be bad enough to prevent you completing your journey, such as if weather warnings are in place, consider whether your journey is really necessary.
Plan alternative routes in case you encounter an issue on your journey and keep friends and family informed of your location. You can share your location using apps such as Waze so people can keep track of your journey in case there’s an issue. Make sure your phone is charged in advance and consider buying an in-car phone charger.
