But if you you do have to drive there are some simple tips to follow.

• Check current and Predicted weather condtions. Not just where you are or where you’re going but also key places along the route.
• Thing about your route. Sticking to main roads is often better.
• Check Live Traffic (There are many online map/traffic providers).
• Prepare yourself and your vehicle for the journey.
• Allow extra time, be aware of changing road conditions and drive to these conditions.
• If things do go wrong, know what to do to keep yourself and others safe.
• Keep in touch with people so they know where and how you are.
