Driving in wet conditions

Tonight, officers were patrolling the area and came across a car in a ditch. Thankfully the driver was safe and well. Remember that vehicles are replaceable, but you are not!

A big thank you to the members of the public who stopped to check if the driver was okay before we arrived.

With wet and slippery conditions on the roads, please take extra care when driving. Here are a few important reminders:

✅ Slow Down – Reduced traction means longer stopping distances.
✅Increase Following Distance – Give yourself more time to react.
✅Check Your Tyres – Good tread and correct pressure are essential for grip.
✅Avoid Sudden Movements – Gentle steering, braking, and acceleration help maintain control.
✅Use Headlights Wisely – Make sure you’re visible to others.

Your safety is our priority. Arriving late is better than not arriving at all. Stay alert, stay safe, and drive responsibly.
