Winter Safety-The guide to staying safe during
the coldest months
  • Every year we take inquiries from clients about
    how to stay safe when driving during the winter
    months.
  • Winter driving
  • Due to the varied weather, road and traffic
    conditions we may need to adapt the way that we
    drive to compensate to these new surroundings,
    which is why being prepared and planning the
    journeys you take is essential to making your
    trip safer.
  • During the snow, we see fewer people take to the
    road, but of course accidents still happen. At
    these times, the weather conditions can play a
    part. In 2014, figures from the Department for
    Transport show that 29 people were killed, 251
    were seriously injured and 2,274 were slightly
    injured in reported road accidents on the UKs
    roads when there was snow and/or ice on the road
    surface.

  • Salt and grit on road surfaces is used when the
    temperature dips, or is expected to drop below
    freezing. However, it is common knowledge that
    not all roads are treated, therefore objective
    criteria must be adopted and employed to ensure
    that all routes are dealt with as a priority.
  • Here are some Winter Driving Tips about preparing
    your vehicle, preparing your journey, preparing
    yourself and driving in snow or ice, rain, fog,
    strong winds and low sunshine.
  • Make sure you know the conditions and weather
    forecasts of the roads you will be driving on as
    this should help to inform whether and how you
    journey can be undertaken.
