Bad weather? These tips could save you from a £2,500 FINE
As forecasters have issued snow and ice warnings this week, drivers could find themselves breaking the law without even realising. Not de-icing your car effectively could lead to a £60 fine, points on your license or even a fine of 2,500 if your vehicle is classed as dangerous. The highway code for what you must do before setting off: • you MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows • you MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible • make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly
