Be safe this Christmas - Severe Weather Advice

Bad weather such as torrential rain, severe winds, fog, ice and snow can strike suddenly catching road users off guard.

Winter-Ready Campaign

The purpose of the campaign is to advise people how to prepare for winter. A Booklet 'Be Winter-Ready' can be downloaded from the website www.winterready.ie or can be obtained from the Office of Emergency Planning - LoCall 1890-252736 - email oep@defence.irlgov.ie .

Is Your Journey Absolutely Necessary? In extreme weather conditions you should ask yourself if making a journey by road is absolutely necessary? If it is not you might consider delaying your trip until the weather and road conditions improve. If using the roads in such conditions is unavoidable be prepared. The golden rule is to drive, cycle or walk with care and caution and expect the unexpected.

Is Your Vehicle Ready for Winter?

As the saying goes ‘Prevention is better than cure’, so take some time to prepare both your vehicle and yourself for the challenges of winter driving. Don't get caught out when severe weather strikes.

Your first step should be to get your vehicle serviced to ensure it is fit and safe for winter driving. Secondly you should carry out regular checks on the vehicle.

You should:

check for wear and tear on wiper blades and replace them as soon as they start to smear rather than clean windows
keep tyre pressure at the manufacturer's recommended level and check you have at least 3 millimetres of tread depth
check that your spare wheel is in good condition and is fully inflated. Some cars may have an inflation repair kit instead of a spare wheel. Make sure that you know how to use it
make sure all vehicle lights are working and clean and
top up with anti-freeze and screen wash
