Irish Advanced Motorists has advice for drivers to keep safe during the coming winter months which include the following:
Don’t wait until it’s fully dark to turn your lights on: “see and be seen”.
Take particular care where children may be playing as light fades, especially between 4pm and 6pm.
Clear all ice and debris from your windows & mirrors before you start driving.
Check your windscreen wiper blades are in good condition and reservoir topped up. Keep the windscreen clear.
Carry a spare pair of shoes in your car as dry soles make it easier to drive.
Check your lights and tyres, including your spare tyre and carry a spare set of light bulbs.
Wipe your head lights and tail lights to keep them bright.
