Stay safe
Slow down in communities, on rural roads, and drive to the conditions.
Don't drive after consuming any amount of alcohol or taking drugs, and be careful about driving the morning after drinking by planning ahead.
Always wear a seatbelt, make sure everyone else in the vehicle is wearing a seatbelt and that children are in correctly-fitted child restraints. Also make sure you have done vehicle checks such as checking lights, tyres, mirrors and windscreen wipers before setting off.
Have your phone switched off or on silent and out of reach. Minimise other distractions.
Take breaks every two hours on long journeys. Don't drive if you are tired, ill or stressed.
