Evening Driving Safety Tips

If you must drive this evening amid Storm Dave, consider these practical precautions:

First, reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Wet roads and strong crosswinds significantly affect braking distance. Second, use your headlights even before darkness falls - poor visibility from heavy rain and spray from other vehicles makes early headlights essential.

Third, ensure your vehicle is prepared. Check that windscreen wipers are working effectively and tyre tread depth is adequate for wet conditions. If your journey is not essential, consider delaying travel until conditions improve.
