Advice from IAM RoadSmart
With icy temperatures expected to continue for several more days motorists are being urged to drive to the conditions, keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front and ensure their cars are fully roadworthy before starting a journey.
That's the advice from Neil Greig, director of policy and research at UK based IAM RoadSmart.
He says ultimately it's about people taking responsibility for themselves and other road users:
Some trailers got 'lost' during recent backlog of freight at Heysham
Police told to reassess FOI response
Census support available from next week
Mobile classroom needed to 'alleviate' pressure at Henry Bloom Primary School
