How to prepare to and drive in Snow and Ice ☃️ *Get up at least 10 minutes early to give you time to prepare the car . *Clear all windows of snow and ice using de-icer and a scraper - do not set off with just a tiny hole cleared in the windscreen. *Check the roof for snow before you drive - it can slip down over the windscreen and obscure your view. *Use a cigarette lighter to warm a key for a frozen lock. Don't breathe on the lock, as the moisture will condense and freeze. *Besides an ice scraper and de-icer, it's worth carrying a mobile phone with fully charged battery, torch, first-aid kit, tow rope, blankets, warm coat and boots, jump leads, snow shovel, warning triangle, an old sack or rug and water repellent spray. *Plan routes to favour major roads which are more likely to have been gritted. *Put safety before punctuality when the bad weather closes in. While it's always a good idea to allow extra time in winter for your journey, drivers must accept the inevitability of being late for work if they are caught up in an unexpected delay. *If your tyres are making virtually no noise this could be a sign you're driving on ice. *If your vehicle skids, depress the clutch and turn the steering wheel into the direction of the skid. When the vehicle straightens steer along the road. Don't brake - it will just lock up your wheels and you'll skid further. *Stopping distances are ten times longer in ice and snow. *Gentle manoeuvres are the key to safe driving. *Reduce your risk of skidding by reducing your speed, too much power is often the source of problems in snow and ice. *Wear comfortable, dry shoes: cumbersome, snow-covered boots will slip on the pedals. *Select second gear when pulling away, easing your foot off the clutch gently to avoid wheel-spin. *Try to maintain a constant speed, choosing the most suitable gear in advance to avoid having to change down while climbing a hill. *When driving downhill, choose third or fourth gear to prevent skidding. *Always apply brakes gently. *If you do get stuck, straighten the steering and clear the snow from the wheels. Put a sack or old rug in front of the driving wheels to give the tyres some grip. Once on the move again, try not to stop until you reach firmer ground.
