“The most crucial thing for road safety in winter is for drivers to drive more slowly in the dark and in the wet than they would in the day time and the dry, because of the poor visbility under these conditions, and to be more vigilant of hazards hidden by the dark. Too many people (not all) continue to drive as fast in these conditions as they would in the day. Even where the speed limit is 30 or 40mph, in many places it is not safe enough to drive at these speeds at night. Why was this most fundamental item not mentioned at the very top of the list? Why, again, are the potential victims of bad driving urged to wear bright clothes, but those who cause the injuries not advised to take the most fundamental of precautionary actions? Drivers should give themselves time to see hazards whether they are lit up with reflective materials or not, by slowing down and concentrating on being observant.”
