Essential advice for motorists this winter season 🥶

Did you know it can take up to ten times as long for your vehicle to stop during icy conditions on the road? With the hazards of black ice, ice, snow, freezing rain and ground frost to negotiate during a typical autumn and winter period, National Highways is providing top tips on how road users can stay safe on our A-roads and motorways over the coming months

Snow and ice: Stick to the main roads where you can and only travel if necessary.
Slow down - it can take 10 times longer to stop in icy conditions.
Use a high gear - this will help avoid wheel spin.
Accelerate gently, using low revs. You may need to take off in second gear to avoid skidding.
You may need up to 10 times the normal gap between your car and the car in front.
Try not to brake suddenly – it may lock up your wheels and you could skid further.
Be extra cautious at road junctions where road markings may not be visible.
Look out for gritters spreading salt or using snow ploughs, and only overtake if it's safe to do so

With a risk of ice and snow across many parts of the UK, here are some important reminders if you need to get behind the wheel. Rule 229 of the Highway Code states:

👀 You must be able to see, make sure your windows and mirrors are clear of ice, snow and mist

🚘 Make sure that both of your number plates are clearly visible

⛄ Remove any snow and ice that has built up on the roof of the vehicle, it can fall onto your windscreen or in the path of another vehicle
⌚ Give yourself plenty of time to make your journey by leaving earlier in case there are any incidents along your route

⛅ Check the weather forecast in advance

📍 Check your route before leaving to check for any delays

Take your time when driving, and do not travel in severe weather unless the journey is essential.
