Driving during the winter months increases the chances of being involved in a road accident - 17th December 2007

During winter, the number of road accidents increases due to the poor driving conditions. Slippery roads and poor visibility all contribute to the increase in car accidents.

What Car has produced an online winter road guide which gives useful information on things like preparing for journeys, vehicle checks, what to carry in your vehicle, seasonal security and winter dangers.

Motorists could benefit by following the many tips to keep out of trouble whilst driving during the winter months, and may also benefit from taking a look at our own winter driving information page.

Meanwhile DriveSafe courses are being offered to drivers teaching them how to drive in wintry conditions. The courses being offered by Rockingham at their Northamptonshire based international motor sport venue teach drivers to stay safe in extreme weather conditions using their own cars.

The courses should provide a good understanding of how to react to the hazards of everyday driving and help reduce accidents. Pedestrian accidents also increase through the dark winter months. If you are walking near roads, to help in being seen by motorists you should wear bright or fluorescent clothing on dull days and reflective clothing at night.

Our service is NATIONWIDE and our experts are helping people every day in locations such as Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Nottingham, London, Bristol, Cardiff and many many other UK towns and cities.
