As the Met Office renews its yellow warnings of snow and ice, drivers are being reminded of five Highway Code rules for driving in difficult conditions.

1/ You MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows

2/ You MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible 

Swindon Advertiser:

3/ Make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly

4/ Remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users

5/ Check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted.
