Each year, 24 percent of weather-related vehicle crashes occur on snowy, slushy or icy pavement and 15 percent happen during snowfall or sleet.
Allow for more time than you normally would before you leave to clear car windows, mirrors, lights and the top of your roof of snow before setting off, driving with snow on your car could result in you breaking the law.
Emergency services are also urging drivers to check their wheels, screen wipers and screen wash before setting off on a journey.
