Autumn and Winter Driving Tips for Scotland

Wet leaves and grip

Fallen leaves can be as slippery as ice. Slow down, brake gently and leave a larger gap.

Ice and frost

Clear all windows fully before setting off. Accelerate, brake and steer smoothly.

Dark evenings

Use dipped headlights, keep windscreens clean and watch for pedestrians.

Evening driving lessons

Practise in real conditions
