5. Stock your car with essentials
You never know when you might become stranded and even if you follow all our tips, it can
still happen. In the event of an emergency, you should always have essentials in the car to
make sure you’re kept safe. This can include high visibility items such as reflectors, extra
warm clothing even if you don’t think you’ll need them, an ice scraper and tools to help you
jumpstart a dead battery.

“Not all of us have been taught how to drive in the snow, so when winter comes around,
many of us aren’t prepared for a sudden bout of bad weather. The best thing you can do
when the weather starts to become colder is to be as prepared as possible. This means
planning for the bad weather before it comes around..."
“Booking in for a winter health check is a great way to make sure your vehicle is as safe to
drive as possible. Stock your car with essentials, check the battery and heating systems,
and make sure you drive carefully to avoid any accidents.”
