As we seem to be set for the harshest winter for a generation, we also appear to be getting less and less assistance as local authorities are stretched to grit and salt from their dwindling supplies.
Whilst main roads seem to be fine, those where most people live remain untreated with the result that motorists are have trouble reaching the main roads.
A lot of minor accidents are taking place close to drivers’ homes for that reason.
So, if you need to drive, take precautions such as :-
Warm clothing, gloves, suitable headwear and footwear
A fully charged mobile phone
A spade
A few biscuits for if you get stuck
…and if you are involved in an accident, take photos of everything you can to assist recovery of your losses.
