Using the roads this 24/10/26? Heavy rain and strong winds could impact your #TRIP.
It's harder for tyres to grip and drivers to see ahead when roads are wet.

ALT Be prepared for traveling when it's windy. Listen out for travel updates. Give more room to vulnerable road users. Stick to main routes where you are less likely to be exposed to fallen branches or debris
ALT Driving in windy weather can be extremely hazardous. Gusts of wind can unsettle your vehicle. Grip your steering wheel firmly with both hands, this is particularly important if overtaking.
