De-frosting vehicle advice

⚠️ Please Do Not Leave Your Vehicle Unattended While Defrosting

With colder weather and frosty mornings, we're reminding drivers not to leave their vehicles unattended with the engine running while defrosting.

Vehicle thieves can take advantage of unattended vehicles in a matter of seconds.

Please follow this advice:

Stay with your vehicle at all times while it is defrosting or running.

Allow extra time before setting off to ensure your vehicle is fully defrosted.

Do not drive until your windscreen is completely clear and avoid travelling if weather conditions are extreme.
