Winter Driving

Winter conditions can be unpredictable, however most of the techniques required in cold environments are common sense:

• Keep speed as low as practically possible
• Increase the distance between cars, corners, junctions and any other hazards
• Get all of your braking done on the straights, never brake during a corner
• Be prepared for understeer and oversteer, and know how to correct when necessary
• Be prepared to use ABS or avoidance braking techniques
• Top up washer fluids and antifreeze
• Select 'snow' mode if available on automatic transmissions, or if an advanced electronic stability control system is fitted.
