Take Care As the Clocks Change

The nights are drawing in, and as we are used to every year, the clocks will go back, giving us an extra hour in the morning, and making us feel slightly better about getting up and off to face the day.

But drivers should bear in mind that with less hours of daylight, slower speeds may be required, and the institute of advanced motorists are advising that speed limits are a guide rather than a target. The limits are there for optimum weather conditions and speed should be considered in the dark.

IAM Chief Examiner Peter Rodger said: "Optimum driving conditions are now ending after an autumn with reasonably good weather, so drivers may need to reduce speed to reflect bad light and weather conditions. More hours of darkness as the clocks go back may require slower speeds especially in the evening as earlier darkness means children are still on their way home in the dark."

The institute recommends that drivers implement the following safety suggestions:

Turn your lights on tat twilight, oyu need to see and be seen.

Take particular care between 4pm and 6pm, when kids are playing as the light fades.

Carry a spare pair of shoes in the car, as driving with wet shoes is really difficult and your soles may slip on the pedals, causing an accident.

Wipe head and tail lights with a cloth to make sure they are kept clean and the lights are bright.
