Winter driving demands extra preparation and caution — icy roads, reduced visibility, and sudden weather changes dramatically increase accident risk. Start by ensuring your vehicle is winter-ready: check tyres have at least 3mm tread, top up screen wash with de-icer formula, and carry an emergency kit (torch, shovel, blanket, charger, first-aid). Plan journeys with extra time, choose safer routes, and increase following distance significantly. Drive slower, avoid harsh braking/acceleration, and never rely on myths like deflating tyres for better grip.
