Winter driving in the UK isn’t all snowflakes and Christmas carols, it’s black ice on A-roads, flooded roundabouts in city centres, and scraping frost off your windscreen before sunrise. In this essential episode of Shift Happens, we’re diving into everything you need to know to stay safe and sane on the roads this winter.

We’ll cover:

• The real winter hazards UK drivers face (from freezing fog to surprise floods)
• How to prep your car for cold weather
• Smart driving techniques for ice, rain, fog, and everything in between
• What to pack in your car just in case you get stuck
• Common mistakes to avoid (no, don’t pour boiling water on your windscreen)
• Trusted UK tools and resources to plan safer journeys

Whether you’re navigating the Dales, the Downs, or just your daily commute, this episode will help you feel more prepared and confident behind the wheel this winter.

Stay safe, stay warm and remember, sometimes the best way to keep moving is to slow down.
