Most of us drive, whether as part of our job role, for our commute or simply for a personal trip. As the winter months become embedded, temperatures and weather conditions will deteriorate. Therefore, we need to make sure we are ready for winter; breakdowns are more common during this time and road conditions can be really challenging, especially when snow and ice strike.

No matter how well equipped your own car is, if a lorry jack-knifes ahead of you, you’ll be stuck along with everyone else, so if you’re driving, pack a winter emergency kit just in case.

In addition, adjust your driving style for the conditions! Just because the road speed limit may be 60 mph – that’s not necessarily safe and appropriate for the conditions such as snow, ice, heavy rain and fog.

Please see our Winter Driving Guidance and Tips through the link here and watch the video here. Take the opportunity to share these with your teams and colleagues, and prioritise staying safe this winter.

Thank you for your support.
