Adverse weather conditions can have a disastrous effect on the roads and many of us fear jumping into the driving seat during snowstorms and icy temperatures, with good reason.
We’ve put together some winter driving tips to help you get around safely.
Driving this winter? Whether you’re simply driving a short distance to friends or family, or to the airport for your winter holiday, you should always make sure your car is prepared for driving in wintery conditions.
Here's a list of tips to make sure your car is winter-ready.
UK drivers who intend to hire a car this summer should take note of the following changes to UK driving licences:
From 8th June 2015, the paper document part of the driving licence, which accompanies the photographic card, will be null and void.
If you’re planning to drive abroad, do be aware that you may be required to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) for some non-EU countries. This IDP authorises the driver to drive a privately owned, or hired, motor car overseas.
If you're one of the many Brits heading abroad for a skiing holiday and planning to drive, check out our tips for winter driving abroad.
Hiring a car on holiday can give you the freedom to visit out-of-the-way places or just spend more time at an attraction than an organised trip would offer.
However, when hiring a vehicle you do need to make sure that you’re aware of the local driving laws and regulations.
