🚗❄️ Heads up, drivers! With a fresh wave of wintry weather hitting the UK, it’s crucial to be prepared before you hit the road. The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and rain, especially across Scotland and northern England. A new storm, Chandra, is in play, with warnings continuing until 5pm today.
Experts have one golden rule for motorists: **Fill up your tank!** Being stuck on the motorway in freezing conditions is nobody’s idea of fun. Plus, here’s a money-saving hack: Fill up when it’s cold to get more bang for your buck, as fuel pumps are calibrated by volume.
The forecast predicts up to 50mm of rain in some areas, and heavy snow in regions above 500m. Expect gusty winds which could disrupt transport plans. If you’re driving in these conditions, it’s vital to be ready.
Here’s a quick checklist to keep in your car: de-icer, ice scraper, hi-vis vest, blanket, snacks, drinks, spare screenwash, a wind-up torch, and a shovel. Don’t forget a phone charger and a map!
Stay safe out there, and make sure your car’s ready for anything Mother Nature throws your way. ❄️🧣🛠️ #WinterWeather #DrivingSafety #FillUp
