WINDSCREENS
Clear all glass and mirrors of ice before attempting to drive. Carry an ice-scraper to clear the bulk of the snow.
CHAIN FITTING
Fit chains at bays where you see the ‘Fit Chains Here’ sign. Always fit chains to driving wheels only. When required, four wheel drive vehicles should fit chains to front wheels.
DRIVING IN ALPINE AREAS
Knowing how to drive on winding mountain roads, in snow and ice conditions, is an important skill to acquire. Travelling on alpine roads in winter can be dangerous unless special driving techniques are used. Even where snow has been cleared from the road, the surface may still be covered by a film of snow or ice.
