If it is not, you might consider delaying your trip until the weather and road conditions improve. If using the roads in such conditions is unavoidable be prepared. The golden rule is to drive, cycle or walk with extreme care and caution and expect the unexpected. </p><hr><h2>Is your vehicle ready for winter? </h2><p>As the saying goes ‘Prevention is better than cure’, so take some time to prepare both your vehicle and yourself for the challenges of winter driving. Don't get caught out when severe weather strikes! </p><p></p><p>You should: </p><p></p><ul><li>get your vehicle serviced to make sure it is fit and safe for winter driving. You should also carry out regular walkaround checks on the vehicle </li><li>check for wear and tear on wiper blades and replace them as soon as they start to smear rather than clean windows</li><li>keep tyre pressure at the manufacturer's recommended level and check you have at least three millimetres of tread depth</li><li>check that your spare wheel is in good condition and is fully inflated. Some cars may have an inflation repair kit instead of a spare wheel. Make sure that you know how to use it</li><li>make sure all vehicle lights are working and clean</li><li>top up with anti-freeze and screen wash. </li></ul><hr><h2>Advice for vulnerable road users </h2><p>During periods of severe weather consider postponing your journey. If the journey is unavoidable, please see the advice below. </p><p>Advice to pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists: </p><ul><li>Visibility and light is reduced in poor weather conditions. Keep safe by making sure you can be seen. Wear bright clothing with reflective armbands or a reflective belt</li><li>Carry a torch in snowy conditions and wear clothing that does not restrict your vision.</li><li>Take extra care when crossing the road or cycling in extremely windy conditions as a sudden gust of wind could blow you into the path of an oncoming vehicle. </li><li>Walk on a footpath, where possible and not in the street. If there is a footpath and it is safe to use, look out for falling debris from above, especially in urban areas. </li><li>In snowy and icy conditions wear appropriate footwear. DO NOT underestimate the danger of ice. </li><li>Many slips and falls happen in places people regard as safe and secure, typically outside their front door, on the doorstep, on the path or while getting out of the car. When you approach a footpath or roadway that appears to be covered with snow or ice, always use extreme caution.</li><li>Walk on the right-hand side of the road, facing traffic if there are no footpaths. </li><li>Cyclists should ensure that they and their bike are visible to other road users by investing in a good set of front and rear lights (white at the front, red at the back) and by wearing clothes that help you be seen on your bike such as bright and light reflective items.</li><li>Motorcyclists should make sure to wear protective equipment and high visibility clothing to make sure they can be seen.</li><li>Motorcyclists should avoid wearing a dark visor in any bad light conditions. </li></ul><hr><h2>Useful links </h2><ul><li>Visit the <a
