Weather conditions will affect you

- And it's worse in winter...unless you want to drive around with the windows open
- Not much fun on a cold wet day
Sun
- Are the windows cleaned properly?
- Poorly cleaned windows will cause you tremendous problems
and are dangerous

brake lights and indicators easily when the sun is behind you?
- Do you realise your indicators and brake lights are also
extremely difficult to see?
- In very bright sunlight try to indicate or brake in the
shade if you can
- This might mean signalling earlier than usual (talk to
your ADI about this)
- But try not to confuse other road users if you do
signal earlier
