Caravanners have been reminded that although the wintry weather conditions have dissipated for the time being, there are other potential dangers on the road.
Car care specialist Armor All warned that poor visibility can be a problem in the winter months, as the sun lays lower in the sky.
It pointed out that vision-related issues contributed to ten per cent of all UK road accidents last year, with sun-dazzle playing a major part in many collisions.
Having a clean windscreen is therefore especially important in winter, as dirt and film from the road surface can reduce visibility even further.
Armor All recommended using glass wipes or a special cleaner on both the inside and outside of the windscreen, as well as carrying out regular inspection of windscreen wipers to ensure they are in full working order.
Such safety practices are essential for all drivers, but for those towing large caravans they are paramount to help avoid accidents.
