Weather can vary considerably over a very short period of time and distance. Winter can often strike suddenly and severely, leaving motorists unprepared for the conditions. This is an essential guide to driving safely in winter from GEM Motoring Assist, the leading UK driver based road safety association.

windscreen wipers and washers are working effectively
washer bottles are full and contain anti-freezing / cleaning additive.
Before driving in winter weather check that:
all lights are clean and working properly
