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.
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.
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.
