Nationwide courier services
Regular vehicle safety checks our part of daily life here at Courier Direct, but we’re often appalled by the lack of preparation for winter conditions we witness when out on the roads.
So, here are some tips to keep you safe, secure and arriving on time, wherever your journey takes you:
Check the following:
Remember too to keep an eye on the weather forecast and dress accordingly – assume you’re going to be stranded on the side of the road, and equip yourself for survival!
And if setting out on a long journey, carry a hot flask of tea/coffee and keep listening to the local radio for the latest conditions on the roads and updates on the weather.
We advise all our drivers not to enter floodwater or take any unnecessary risks, to heed warning signs and stick to major roads where possible.
A lot of the above is common sense, but it does no harm to remind ourselves once in a while, to ensure the safety of drivers and other road users, especially when the elements are against us!
