The evenings are getting longer as winter approaches, which we all know can make the roads more dangerous.

With wetter roads, icier conditions and often poor visibility, please drive cautiously and sensibly. Watch your speed and always pay attention to the road.

Make sure your vehicle is winter-ready by checking that your tyres meet legal tread depth. Driving with insufficient tread depth can be incredibly dangerous, leading to increased braking distances, loss of traction and an increased risk of hydroplaning.

Speed, road friction, vehicle condition and reaction time are the main factors that affect stopping distance. Motorists can control their speed and stay aware of their vehicle condition, so there is no excuse for letting these factors get in the way of driving safely and stopping suddenly when required.

Islanders should be ready for the cold conditions and think about how their choices on the road can impact others. Being a considerate driver, cyclist or pedestrian, is key to making our roads safer for everyone.
