MOTORISTS can pull up at supermarkets around Warwickshire for winter awareness checks.
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service is working in collaboration with the Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership and Warwickshire County Council on the events, which will provide drivers with advice on tyre checks, child car seat fitting, screen wash top-ups, winter journey planning tips, emergency kit essentials and road safety advice.
Events are running from 10am to 12pm on November 19 at Warwick Tesco in Emscote Road and December 4 at Leamington Asda in Chesterton Drive.
WCC’s fire and rescue spokesperson Coun Dale Bridgewater said: “As the weather turns colder, ensuring your vehicle is ready for the road is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent an accident. These winter awareness checks are a fantastic opportunity for drivers to get free, expert advice on everything from checking their tyre pressure and tread depth to what to pack in an emergency kit. We urge everyone to take advantage of this initiative. Our goal, shared with all our partners, is to help to ensure that every journey through Warwickshire is a safe one, whatever the weather may bring.”
