Check your car insurance policy. Are you covered for damage caused by severe weather? For example many car insurance policies don’t pay out if your car suffers damage due to flooding.
Driving in snow and ice can be a perilous activity. Unexpected snow is very dangerous. It means that the road gritters will not have been called out and that the roads remain ungritted. Once gritted you should find that there is enough grip for careful driving.
If you do find yourself driving in snow or when there is ice on the road this is what you should do.
Avoid turning the steering wheel suddenly or sharply.
Accelerate smoothly and gradually.
Slow down and avoid sudden braking. You should use the engine brake changing down into lower gears as well as the brake pedal. This will help you avoid locking the wheels. If the wheels do lockup it is likely that your car will slide out of control. If this happens you should release the brake pedal to help the wheels regain traction. Then brake gently and gradually whilst changing into the low gears.
Create more distance between you and the vehicle in front. In can take up to 10 times longer to stop in icy conditions.
Use higher gears as this will help prevent wheel spin.
Statistically driving in fog is the most dangerous road condition in the UK. If the fog is really bad then it is advisable to pull over park somewhere safe and wait for the fog to lift. If however you find yourself driving in fog this is what you should do.
Slow down dip your headlights and turn on your fog lights if visibility is less than 100 metres.
Keep alert. If you suddenly find the fog clearing don’t think the danger has gone away. Fog is often patchy going from a mist to a dense impenetrable fog within seconds.
Use your windscreen wipers and demisters
Beware of other road users who are not using their headlights and fog lights.
British weather during the winter months is unpredictable. Bad weather can appear quickly and suddenly. The best advice may well be to stay off the road. However if you must drive then make sure you are prepared for and respect the conditions.
