Driving in bad weather: Choosing your route
Timing
Always allow extra time in severe weather. Listen to warnings or advice and consider whether or not your journey is essential.
If severe weather is forecast, can you plan your journey to travel before the worst of the weather or wait until it has passed? Or at least allow time after the snowfall for crews to start clearing and treating the roads? It all helps.
Remember, in severe weather you will need to allow more time for your journey. If severe weather is forecast are you able to change your travel plans? Can you work at home, for example?
