SAFE MOTORING TIPS FOR THE WINTER MONTHS..

•Use your lights:As we come into the winter months, motorists are advised to use dipped head lights during the day so you are easily seen. Headlights and taillights should be clean and in working order. Ensure the beam on your head-lights are adjusted correctly to avoid dazzling other drivers unnecessarily. Only use fog lights in foggy conditions and don’t forget to turn them off after they have been used in fog and mist.

•Check your tyres: They are your only contact with the road. Car tyres should be above the minimum legal thread depth of 1.6mm but need to be changed before they get this worn. It is advised that tyres should be replaced when they reach 3mm and don’t buy second had tyres as you cannot be sure of its history. The legal limit for motorcycle tyres is 1mm and again should be replaced before they get this worn. Tyres need to be at the manufacturers recommended level to give the motorist the best chance in extreme conditions.

•Safe Distance: It takes longer to stop a car during the winter weather so slow down and allow extra distance between you and the car in front.

•Understand your brakes: Check your car manual and find out if your vehicle has safety assist technology such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or Anti Lock Braking System (ABS). Learn how these technologies can assist your driving in harsh weather conditions.

•Make sure you can clearly see: All too often motorists do not de-fog or de-ice windows and mirrors which can compromise visibility. This winter make sure windows and mirrors are clear, and carry a de-icer and screen scraper in the car. Do not use boiling water as this can crack the windscreen. Wipers are especially important for driving this winter; they need to be checked for wear and tear, and replaced if necessary.

•Be prepared: During these winter months it is advised that motorists carry a number of essentials in the boot of their car, should severe weather strike again this year.
*High visibility vest
*Appropriate footwear in case you need to leave your vehicle e.g. boots
*A hazard warning triangle
*Spare wheel
*Tow Rope
*De-icing equipment (for glass and door locks)
*Spare bulbs
*First aid kit
*A working torch
*A car blanket, additional clothing & some food and water

Its recommend that drivers keep their fuel tanks topped up especially in times of adverse weather conditions!. You do not want to run out of fuel on a journey in bad weather.

•In the event of a breakdown: Drivers need to ensure their vehicle is well in off the road so as not to obstruct other vehicles. The driver should also put on their hazard warning lights. If the vehicle breaks down on the motorway pull in as far as you can, alerting traffic behind you with hazard lights. The driver should leave their vehicle, get behind the barrier (on the embankment) and call the Gardaí, on their mobile phone or roadside telephone.

•Beware of “Black Ice”: Black Ice is one of winter’s biggest hazards as it is difficult to see. Watch out for sheltered/ shaded areas on roads, under trees and near high walls.

•Most importantly:Keep up to date. Listen to local weather and traffic reports. Pay heed to the weather warnings alerting drivers of unsafe and dangerous driving conditions.
