Icy and snowy weather Tips from the Highway Code

230
When driving in icy or snowy weather

Drive with care, even if the roads have been treated
keep well back from the road user in front as stopping distances can be ten times greater than on dry roads

take care when overtaking vehicles spreading salt or other de-icer, particularly if you are riding a motorcycle or cycle

watch out for snowploughs which may throw out snow on either side. Do not overtake them unless the lane you intend to use has been cleared

be prepared for the road conditions to change over relatively short distances
listen to travel bulletins and take note of variable message signs that may provide information about weather, road and traffic conditions ahead.

231
Drive extremely carefully when the roads are icy. Avoid sudden actions as these could cause loss of control.

You should,
drive at a slow speed in as high a gear as possible; accelerate and brake very gently

drive particularly slowly on bends where loss of control is more likely. Brake progressively on the straight before you reach a bend. Having slowed down, steer smoothly round the bend, avoiding sudden actions

check your grip on the road surface when there is snow or ice by choosing a safe place to brake gently. If the steering feels unresponsive this may indicate ice and your vehicle losing its grip on the road. When travelling on ice, tyres make virtually no noise.

and remember safety is first
