SNOW DRIVING ADVICE!

 

Clear ALL SNOW OFF your car including all lights! If you don’t, it will fall off your roof/bonnet onto your windscreen obstructing your vision, or fall on the car behind causing an accident. Put your Headlights on.

Keep 10 second gap from the car in front. If you are being followed too closely try to warn the driver with hazard warning lights or move off his/her path.

Brake, steer and accelerate very gently.

In deep snow try moving off in second gear.

Give priority to vehicles going uphill. They need momentum in order to keep going.  

                                  Approaching the end of the road slow down well before the end of the road or you drift out of the junction into oncoming traffic. If you are on the main road-watch the incoming roads for drivers "flying out" of junctions. You may be able to stop faster than them! If you are going at the correct speed.

ABS and traction control are not very good in the snow. Use cadence braking when stopping, if you can, turn your traction control off.
