BRRRR!!! Cold Weather Warning To Motorists…

This article is old - Published: Tuesday, Jan 24th, 2017

We understand it can be inconvenient to sit in your vehicles in the cold and wait for the windows to clear on frosty mornings, like we’ve had this week. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

However, please don’t leave your vehicle unattended and unlocked with the keys in the ignition and the engine running. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

This is a huge temptation for opportunist thieves and they will target you. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Following, this we would like to remind motorists of the importance of fully de-icing your windows and windscreens. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

This is not just simply scraping a small patch for you to see out of, you need to ensure you can fully see all of your surroundings to stay safe on our roads. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

By not doing this you are putting yourselves, other road users and pedestrians at risk. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
