On these dates, when winter conditions come together, often unfavorable, and partying with friends and family, it’s very important that drivers keep a set of very basic recommendations in mind. First of all, and as is already clear, you should refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages if you have to take the car later.

If you are going to drive in bad weather or in snowy areas, don’t forget the essentials such as chains or an emergency kit. And much more caution on short drives and at night, even though they are known, as they are usually most dangerous when ‘on their guard’.

Likewise, it is necessary to plan the journey in advance and to stay informed of any incident on the road through the traffic information bulletins on the various radio and television stations, on the DGT website, one of its social networks and by calling 011. .
