🚨 Vehicle Safety Reminder – Be Prepared for Heavy Rain 🚨

With heavy rainfall expected across North Yorkshire, we’re reminding all drivers to take extra care on the roads. Wet conditions can make driving more dangerous, but a few simple checks can make a big difference:

✅ Check your tyres – Ensure they have good tread depth and are correctly inflated. Proper grip is essential for braking and steering safely on wet roads.

✅ Slow down in heavy downpours – Reduced visibility and longer stopping distances mean you need more time to react.

✅ Leave extra space – Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

✅ Use your lights – Make sure you can see and be seen.

✅ Stay alert for surface water – Flooding can appear quickly and cause vehicles to lose control.

Please take a few minutes before setting off to check your vehicle. A little preparation could prevent a serious accident.

Stay safe and drive with care.
