Snow on vehicles

Dear resident

With the weather being cold, snowy and icy please take care and refrain from travelling unless necessary.

If you do have to go out. Please can you take a minute to read this advice about clearing your vehicle of snow.

There have ben many vehicles seen still covered in snow with some rear windows completely covered and snow coming off on to other vehicles.

please Remember….

To clear your lights, the front ones help you see, the rear ones help people see when you’re slowing or stopping.

Clear your windscreen, please don’t just clear it with the wipers!

Clear your number plates.

Clear the snow off your roof. If you break harshly the snow will come onto your windscreen and you won’t be able to see!

Clear the snow off your bonnet, when you’re driving the snow will come onto your windscreen and you won’t be able to see! (there's a theme here)

I know it takes time to clear all the snow off your vehicle, and it’s cold, but please do all you can to keep your self safe and to keep other safe.

Thank you and travel safe
