As you've probably realised, adverse weather conditions can make it difficult to see, and slow down your reaction times. Whether you're contending with snow, torrential rain causing spray, or the glare of the sun; it seems that every type of weather brings its own set of challenges that drivers have to contend with.
Remember, included in the Highway Code's advice for driving in bad weather is to make sure you've got time to react by keeping your distance from the car in front.
If you're worried about using your car when a bad bout of weather hits, driving instructor, John Parry, advises: "Try to avoid long-distance travel if necessary, but if you can't, then plan your route appropriately. You should also try to avoid distractions. This means keeping the music to a low level, avoiding using your satnav, and not having a passenger with you - if possible. Also carry out the correct vehicle checks such as ensuring you have enough fuel; your indicators are working, and your tyres are free from punctures."
