Here are the numbers to call if anything suspicious is seen – call 111 if crime is happening now. Cal 105 if it has already happened.

During the winter months, as conditions change, you’ll need to adjust your driving to keep safe.

Here are some top tips-

-Adjust your speed to suit the conditions—when icy or snowy, drive slower than you normally would to reduce the risk of losing control or skidding.

-Be seen—use your headlights in rainy, icy, snowy and dark conditions.

-Increase your following distance during poor weather such as rain, hail, snow and fog—it takes longer to stop on slippery roads.

-Always check the weather and road conditions before you head out.
