Just when we thought we’d escaped with a relatively mild winter, the cold has returned with a vengeance.
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has urged motorists to take extra care on the roads over the next few days in order to avoid accidents, as weather conditions are set to be difficult.

We all take the brakes in our car for granted. We expect them to work perfectly, especially if we need them in an emergency. So it’s no surprise that they’re a part of the vehicle that&#8217;s overworked &#8211; the average driver uses their brakes an estimated 75,000 times a year.
