Motorists warned of more bad weather

 Britons have been warned that driving conditions will remain treacherous for some time yet as the UK continues to be disrupted after the heaviest snowfall levels for almost 20 years, highlighting the need for good car insurance

With the south-east of England having experienced up to 12 inches of snow on Monday, forcing many local authorities to close schools or roads, weather forecasters are now predicting similar bad weather for the north of the country.

In particular, up to eight inches of snow are expected to fall across the north-west, eastern Scotland and the Borders region over the next few days, thereby making roads hazardous and car insurance more important than ever, particularly where snow turns into ice.

Furthermore, it is expected that strong winds could make conditions even tougher for motorists as they cause snow to drift, the Met Office has warned.

Highlighting the seriousness of the situation, police in Wales have confirmed that the icy conditions were to blame for the death of a motorist in Llanelli on Monday night, adding that drivers in the area should only make journeys if they are necessary.
