Avis, the
car rental company, have released a series of top tips to help
motorists drive
their car more safely during the cold snap that is currently
engulfing the
British isles . The top tips provided by the
car company are a useful reminder that driving in cold weather
can be hazardous.
The commercial
director of
Avis UK, Daniel McCarthy, reportedly commented:
There’s nothing worse than being caught in the snow.
Driving in sub-zero temperatures can be absolutely treacherous; we
are hoping our tips will help
drivers feel safer and more comfortable on their
journeys.
Avis tips included: parking downhill rather than uphill, using
highest gear possible to start
the car without stalling, warming the
engine before setting off, being aware that the
handbrake can freeze, being prepared to skid, planning for
journeys and making sure that you have enough
fuel for your
travel as well as an emergency pack.
Car finance .co.uk urges drivers to take care on the roads at
this time of year.
