Motorists are being urged to prepare for the cold weather that has been creeping in with winter's arrival. Parts of Scotland are expected to be hit with snow and ice in the coming days, which could be an issue for drivers.
Experts are urging drivers to plan ahead so that they are prepared if anything were to happen. This includes bringing a blanket in case you break down and keeping your phone charged at all times.
Car owners should also consider making regular checks to reduce the risk of becoming stranded at the roadside. The guidance has been issued by the motoring and breakdown experts at the RAC.
