In recent years, the weather has become increasingly extreme, and we often experience extreme phenomena that were previously rare, so prevention is extremely important, not only to minimise financial losses, but also to contribute to our safety and the protection of our environment.

The most important thing is to avoid travelling in extreme weather conditions if possible, but if you do have to get in the car, keep the following in mind:

• Be extra careful when driving: in adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or storms, reduce your speed and increase your following distance to avoid dangerous situations.
• Always carry emergency equipment appropriate for the expected weather conditions, such as a torch, snow shovel, snow chains, first aid kit and warm blanket.
• Good to know: if you drive less, your insurance premium can also be lower.*
