'The greatest risk is of a multiple-vehicle pile-up on roads with higher speeds such as motorways and dual carriageways.'
As such, the RSA is urging people to check local and national weather forecasts before setting out on a journey.Road users are also advised to clear their windows and mirrors before setting out and to carry a screen scraper and de-icer.
To prevent windscreen wipers from freezing and seizing up in freezing fog, add anti-freeze screen washer to the water tank. Check the wipers for wear and tear and replace them if they are damaged. Black ice is difficult to see. It is nearly transparent ice that often looks like a harmless puddle or is overlooked entirely. It can occur especially in sheltered or shaded areas on roads, under trees and adjacent to high walls. If the road looks polished or glossy, it could be black ice.
