The AA has revealed that the number of accident insurance claims has fallen in the past week as the warmer weather approaches the south.
Just 529 claims were registered yesterday (December 23rd) compared to 644 on Monday December 21st when the icy weather began in earnest.
Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, said: “The worst of the weather seems to be receding in many parts of England, reducing the risk of a collision due to icy conditions – although Scotland is still in a tight wintry grip.
“Caution is vital – it’s far better to delay your journey and arrive late, but safe,” he added.
Black ice was identified as a “hidden enemy” and all caravan drivers should take caution when making journeys in this weather.
Earlier this week transport minister Sadiq Khan criticised the apparent lack of gritting on British roads.
