Although I love the snow and I have been building snowmen all week winter driving is very hazardous and to avoid having an accident, if you must drive in the snow and ice you should ensure that your car is properly prepared.

Before you leave you should ensure that your tyres are correctly inflated and you should have a minimum tread of 3mm on your tyres. This will assist with wet and slippery conditions and hopefully help avoid you crashing your car.

I don’t know about you but I am already getting sick and tired of all of this snow. It is time for our annual family winter holiday to the sun. Mrs Thom and I have been looking through brochures and are very excited about getting away from this dreadful weather and hitting the beaches somewhere warm and sunny. Little Thom is also looking forward to our holiday and has already looked out the beach ball, bucket and spade to pack in the suitcase!

The UK Department for Transport has released a forecast for post 2010 casualties. The purpose of the paper is to reduce casualties that may occur in car accidents.

The forecasting models have been updated annually, and the results have shown that the forecasting methodology is broadly reliable. The report for next 20 years generally predicts reduction in car accident casualties, both fatal and serious. It predicts that car accidents will still cause fatal casualties, but on average there is going to be one-third less than the average number of fatal casualties on 2005-2007.
