Driving in icy conditions

ADVICE FROM POLICE SCOTLAND

Are you prepared for driving as the weather gets colder? As the temperature falls, the roads will become icy so please think ahead before you travel anywhere:

🚗 Only drive if the journey is absolutely necessary and if so, make sure your car is completely defrosted. This includes windows and screen wash!

🕐Leave plenty of time for the journey. The traffic will be slower with people taking precautions whilst driving. No journey is worth the risk of driving fast in the ice and snow.

😎 The glare from the low-lying sun can be blinding during winter, so please take extra due care and attention and have some sunglasses available to help with the glare.

👍 Be considerate of all road users – remember everyone is just trying to get from A-B safely.
