When the roads are dangerous we would advise you to stay at home, but if you have to use your car here are our top tips for staying safe in the snow:
Accelerate gently, using low revs and change up a gear as soon as you can
Move off in second gear - this will help to stop your wheels slipping
... Get your speed right and leave as much as 10 times the normal recommended gap
Prepare for a hill by leaving plenty of room in front so you can maintain a constant speed without the needing to change gear
Use a low gear for going downhill and try to avoid braking where possible
When approaching a bend, brake before you actually start to turn the steering wheel. If your car does lose grip, the key thing is to take your foot off the accelerator and make sure that your wheels are pointing in the direction you want to go in
If you do encounter a skid, steer gently into it - for example, if the rear of the car is sliding to the right, steer to the right. Do not take your hands off the steering wheel or stamp your foot on the brakes
If the road has not been gritted, be wary of driving in the wheeltracks or other vehicles as compressed snow is likely to be more icy than fresh snow
