Remember your headlights

Well winter is well and truly upon us, and we are seeing many foggy mornings.

Seeing and being seen is crucial in these conditions.

In fog reduce your speed and increase the distance between other vehicles, this will allow you more time to react to unexpected vehicles or hazards that emerge in the fog, it also allows others to react safely to your presence.

Please ensure your vehicle is roadworthy and you are prepared for any trip.
