Driving A Warrington Hire Van This New Year
- When driving your Warrington hire van in snow, always wear dry, comfortable shoes.
- When you are accelerating, do so gently. Keep the revs low and change up to a higher gear as soon as possible.
- When you are first setting off, do it in second gear. This reduces the risk of wheel slip.
- When driving your Warrington Hire van in the snow, before you approach a bend, ensure you apply the brakes gently to get to your desired speed before turning the steering wheel.
- When negotiating an uphill climb in a Warrington hire van, leave plenty of room in front and keep to a constant speed so you don’t have to change gear half-way up an incline.
- When descending hills, select a lower gear and avoid braking unless it is necessary.
- If you find your Warrington Hire Van skidding, stay calm and steer gently into the skid. If the rear of the van is starting to slide to the right, you steer to the right to correct it, pointing your wheels where you want to go.
- In heavy snowfall, drive with your dipped headlights switched on.
- If visibility drops to less than 100 metres, it’s time turn on the fog lights. As soon as the conditions improve, turn them off again.
