A spokesperson for Deddington Fire Station said: “Driving during the winter can present extra hazards, especially on rural roads.

"Allow extra braking time on wet roads, it takes twice as long to stop your car in wet conditions and 10 times on ice.

"Drive at an appropriate speed on winding country roads, remove any distractions from reach within your vehicle and focus on the road ahead.”
