visibility.

How do you win against the weather?

• Tune-in to radio and TV reports - describing road and weather conditions.

• Equip your vehicle for conditions you might encounter – proper tyres, tow rope, jumper cables, torch, biscuits, drinking water.

• Have the position of your head lights, tail lights and fog lights checked before setting out. Too low, you won’t see much; too high, they cause a potentially dangerous glare for other drivers.

• Learn how your vehicle handles in rough weather. Front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles, each have a different ‘feel’ to them.

• Learn how to correct a skid before it happens for real.

• Be aware of weather patterns so you can stay off the road in extreme conditions. Watch continually for changes in road surfaces and visibility which accompany sudden weather changes.Beware of sudden weather changes!
