Motorists are being advised to prepare for treacherous driving conditions as fresh snowfall is expected between Tuesday and Wednesday in some areas of the UK. With the ground already saturated, there's also a risk of surface water flooding.
He stressed the necessity of high-vis vests: "It's advisable to always have a high vis vest in your vehicle in case of emergencies, and make sure to pack enough for other passengers." He also highlighted the significance of warning triangles: "Warning triangles are crucial for providing oncoming drivers enough time to react, especially in snowy weather conditions."
Owen-Hughes further advised on the utility of a multiuse battery pack: "Having a multiuse battery pack to charge electrical devices could mean you can still make that call to a helpline, and get out of a dangerous situation."
