The road conditions are changing in Linton & Cambridge on an almost daily basis and that means that driving styles have to be adjusted and more care is needed to be taken on the roads.

Snow and ice in particular, are responsible for the majority of accidents as road conditions deteriorate, and as the above diagram shows, the stopping distances increase massively. We all know to take more care and drive slower, but it's easy to forget just how much more distance it takes to bring your vehicle to a controlled and safe stop.

We see an increase in accidents and repairs at our bodyshop in Linton at this time of year, as road conditions can catch people out.

Vehicle repair centres and bodyshops are always busy, but seasonal demand can increase waiting times to have your vehicle repaired following an accident.

There is ice on the windscreen in the morning now, which means that tricky driving conditions are round the corner. Reduce your chances of having an accident by driving according to the road conditions, and if in doubt, slow down.

If the unfortunate does happen and you are involved in an accident, call Cooper Barnes and we can assist in managing your claim, getting your car booked into our bodyshop in Linton and getting you back out on the road as smoothly and quickly as possible.
