With the weather getting colder, police are reminding road users to pay attention to road conditions and drive appropriately.
âAs we know mornings at this time of year are dark and very cold,â said Inspector Mark Davies. âMotorists need to pay attention to the driving conditions and change their driving behaviour appropriately. The mornings especially may be frosty, foggy or very wet and windy.
âJust remember to slow down and steer gently in such conditions. Avoid braking or accelerating too suddenly and always leave a bigger gap between you and the car in front.
âIf you skid, do not brake harshly and if you find yourself travelling across black ice and the steering feels light, donât brake, just ease off the accelerator.
âHopefully, by following these simple steps road users will help us keep our roads safe.â
