❄️ Cold Morning Safety Reminder ❄️

As temperatures drop, many of us wake up to frosty windscreens. While it’s tempting to leave your car running to defrost, here are some important safety tips:

• 🚗 Never leave your vehicle running unattended – it’s not just unsafe, it’s illegal in many areas. Opportunistic thieves can take advantage, and you could face fines or insurance issues.

• 🧊 Defrost safely – use a proper ice scraper or de-icer spray. Avoid boiling water, which can crack glass.

• 🔒 Stay with your car – if you must run the engine, remain inside or nearby to keep it secure.

• 🌍 Plan ahead – give yourself extra time in the morning to defrost properly without rushing.

 Protect yourself, your vehicle, and others on the road. Stay safe this winter!
