Drive Vauxhall helps local motorists to drive safely this winter

Following a treacherous winter of snowfall

and plummeting temperatures last year, Vauxhall retailer, Drive

Vauxhall, is encouraging motorists in Bury St Edmunds to prepare themselves for the colder months with a

comprehensive range of winter accessories.

 

In an effort to increase road safety this

year, the retailer on Cotton Lane is

offering a number of winter car care accessories, including the popular and

highly effective AutoSock Snow Socks,

tyre covers which:

• Give vehicles

  extra traction on snow and ice

• Reduce the

  risk of an accident in slippery conditions

• Are less

  bulky and awkward than snow chains

• Can be easily

  fitted over the driving wheels of the vehicle

• Are available

  from Drive Vauxhall for

  £49.95 RRP

 

Sarah

Ferrari, General Manager from Drive

Vauxhall comments: "Here at Drive Vauxhall we pride

ourselves in caring for our customers' safety as much as anything else and our

winter accessories range demonstrates this perfectly.

 

"Whilst we know that most motorists are

careful when driving in cold winter conditions and wouldn't choose to make a

journey if the roads were too dangerous, sometimes driving on treacherous roads

is unavoidable; whether you need to collect the children from school or travel

home from work. This is why we are offering these products to our customers, so

that the risk of them having an accident this winter is substantially reduced."

 

Also on offer at Drive Vauxhall this

winter are a wide range of Autoglym

car care products, including:

• De-Icer

  (£3.99)

• Concentrated

  Screenwash (£3.99)

care accessories available from Drive Vauxhall or for

St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP33 1XP.

AutoSock

Snow Socks are effective in freezing driving conditions but motorists are

advised that their use is intended to be limited to vital journeys. Similarly,

while they can be used at speeds of up to 30mph, drivers using them are advised

to travel substantially slower than this.

 

While AutoSock Snow Socks performance

compares well with snow chains, in some countries the use of the latter is

mandatory in snowy and icy conditions. When travelling abroad, it is essential

to be aware of the equipment you are legally required to carry in the vehicle

at all times. Items, such as a high-visibility vest, warning triangle and first

aid kit, are required in most European countries and these can be purchased

from Drive

Vauxhall as a 'Safety Pack' for £27.
