With winter almost upon us now in the UK -although some would argue we are still waiting for the summer! - its that time of year when it starts to get dark earlier with the added hazard of slippy conditions cuased by rain, sleet or snow. Be aware that 50% of driving accidents occuring at night happen on wet roads! 90% of problems could be avoided altogether with good preperation. Its not rocket science, winter is coming so make sure that you and your car are up to the challenge. Some of the tips are really obvious, however every winter I see people completely unprepared and are just accidents waiting to happen.

At Jaguar its known as Dynamic Stability Control (DSM), Porsche: Porsche Stability Management (PSM), Volvo: Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DTSC), Lexus: Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) and to really confuse things General Motors refer to it as different systems for individual brands, for instance fitted to a Corvette its called Active Handling System - whereas in a Pontiac, Buick or Cadillac its called Stabilitrak!

SMS car alerts for maintenance and security.
