Winter, Summer and Wet Weather Driving Tips – Stay Safe on North Yorkshire Roads

Learn how to drive safely in all weather conditions across North Yorkshire — from icy winter roads and flooded lanes to hot summer days. Get expert advice, seasonal checklists, and links to trusted resources to help you prepare for any journey.

Driving Safely in Rain, Wet or Flooded Roads

With frequent rainfall throughout the year, wet road conditions are one of the biggest hazards for North Yorkshire drivers. Follow these safe driving tips for wet weather to reduce your risk of skidding or losing control.

When Driving in Heavy Rain

  • Turn on your headlights to improve visibility.

  • Increase your distance behind other vehicles — stopping distances can double in wet weather.

  • Ensure your windscreen wipers are clean and in good working order.

Avoid aquaplaning: when tyres lose grip on a layer of water, your car can skid or glide. To prevent it:

  • Keep your speed low on wet roads.

  • Avoid harsh braking or sudden steering.

When Driving Through Floods or Standing Water

  • Avoid deep or moving floodwater where possible.

  • Never drive through water deeper than 10cm (4 inches).

  • Drive slowly to prevent creating a bow wave.

  • Test your brakes afterwards.

  • Remember: even shallow fast-moving water can sweep a vehicle away.

Winter Driving Tips and Safety Checklist

Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures make driving more dangerous. Use these winter driving tips to prepare your car and protect yourself before travelling.

Before You Travel

  • Check weather forecasts and gritting routes.

  • Use main roads whenever possible.

  • Tell someone your route and expected arrival time.

  • Allow extra time and avoid unnecessary trips.

  • Check your breakdown cover.

Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter

  • Check tyre pressure and tread depth.

  • Make sure your lights, wipers, and screen wash are working.

  • Keep your battery charged.

  • Clear ice and condensation before you drive.

  • Use a windscreen cover overnight.

What to Carry in Your Car

  • Warm, high-visibility clothing and a blanket.

  • De-icer, scraper, torch, and spare batteries.

  • Fully charged mobile phone.

  • Spade or shovel, old carpet for traction.

  • Snacks, water, gloves, socks, and a hot drink in a flask.

During Your Journey

  • Drive slowly and increase your stopping distance.

  • Use dipped headlights in poor visibility.

  • Avoid sudden braking or acceleration.

  • Choose gritted main roads over minor routes.

  • Watch for frost in shaded areas, on bridges, and near rivers.

Even treated roads may still have icy patches, so always drive with care.

Winter Tyres – Extra Grip, Extra Safety

Using winter tyres between October and March can improve grip and shorten braking distances by up to 10 metres on icy or snowy roads.

Find expert advice on tyre safety and tread checks from TyreSafe.

Summer Driving and Hot Weather Tips

High temperatures can affect both your car and your concentration. Follow these summer driving safety tips:

  • Check tyre pressure frequently — heat increases blowout risk.

  • Keep sunglasses in your car to reduce glare.

  • Clean your windscreen to prevent dazzle.

  • Avoid hay fever medication that causes drowsiness.

  • If you sneeze while driving, slow down and leave space ahead.

  • Take a 20-minute break every 3 hours on long journeys.

Driving on Newly Treated Roads

We carry out surface dressing and road repairs during summer months. When driving over loose chippings:

  • Follow the temporary speed limit.

  • Avoid sharp turns or sudden braking to prevent damage or injury.

Stay Prepared for Every Season

From winter gritting routes to summer road maintenance, North Yorkshire County Council works year-round to keep drivers safe. Always check live weather cameras, road updates, and community alerts before setting off.
