MOTORISTS in the Rural Flegg area have been given words of advice from police in a bid to improve road safety in the winter.
Before Christmas vehicles were stopped by officers for lighting offences and all drivers were given words of advice.
The checks were carried out in response to the concerns of residents and the issue is currently a priority for the Rural Flegg Villages Neighbourhood Policing Team.
Police advise motorists to:
�Make sure all car lights are working and have no failed bulbs. Ensure that dirt, salt and snow is cleared away from light fixtures.
�Always ensure all windows are fully cleared of snow, frost and condensation before setting off on a journey - it is illegal to drive with obscured vision.
