A little preparation now keeps you moving safely all winter long.
Irish winters can be unpredictable - one minute it’s mild, the next your car is covered in frost. A few quick steps each morning can help keep you safe, comfortable and ready for the road ahead.
Before you set off:
- Take a minute to clear your car - windows, mirrors and lights. Good visibility keeps everyone safer.
- Keep a small winter kit, e.g. de-icer, scraper, gloves and a towel for condensation.
- Check your tyres - colder weather can lower pressure and reduce grip.
- Top up your screen wash and coolant - it helps prevent freezing and keeps your view clear.
Helpful tip:
Give yourself an extra few minutes before you leave on frosty mornings. It’s a small habit that helps avoid stress and protects your car too.
