Needless to say, after the downpour of rain we've had recently, we all need to take extra care when driving on our roads. Heavy rain, standing water and mist / fog are all dangerous at any speeds, no matter what you're driving.
🌧 ☔
Make sure you leave plenty of time for your journey, allowing for slower driving conditions and ensure you've got the essentials in your car in case of any breakdown situations – blankets, drinks and snacks are handy things to have to hand in case you breakdown, especially when waiting for a recovery service in these wet and chilly conditions, so plan ahead! 🚘 🚗 ❄️ 🌧 ☔

👀 Have you noticed people driving without their lights on? 👀
We’re always a bit taken aback when we spot cars driving without their lights on, especially when it’s dark and the weather has been so unpredictable lately.
Just a friendly reminder: even if your car has an automatic light system, it’s still a good idea to keep your headlights on and not just rely on your side lights.
As a general guideline, if you’re driving in the rain and need to use your wipers, make sure your lights are on too, as any decrease in visibility means you should be using your lights too.
