THE road safety team at Warrington Borough Council is reminding residents to make sure their vehicles are ready for winter driving.
Regular servicing and checks on vehicles will reduce the chances of breaking down on the road, particularly in the winter months.
Tyres should be checked, including the spare. Fluid levels, especially anti-freeze, should be topped up if necessary.
All lights should be checked and cleaned and screen washer levels topped up.
Cllr Linda Dirir (pictured) the council’s lead member for highways, transportation and climate change, said: “Now the clocks have gone back it’s a really good idea to get your vehicles ready for winter. The most important thing to remember about driving in these months is to think ahead and be prepared.
“Winter weather can bring hazardous driving conditions that we need to be prepared for and it can be simple things like keeping a torch and blanket in the boot of your car.
“The road safety team is passionate about promoting safety messages and I hope motorists make full use of the advice and information that is available so that we can all stay safe on our roads during the winter period.”
