Female motorists 'need to be skilful in the snow'
Women drivers prefer garages that have signed the FOXY Promise© to say 'We strive to be a female friendly business and will never knowingly overcharge, patronise or sell our customers services they do not need or want.'
Women drivers who could do without the hassle of finding a female-friendly garage to carry out car repairs may do well to take on board advice from Protyre.
According to the group, driving on icy roads can easily result in accidents if motorists are not skilful and gentle when using their brakes, steering and accelerator.
The company said people need to try and anticipate potential problems and give other vehicles plenty of room.
It stated male and female drivers who start sliding should not touch the brakes, clutch or accelerator until they have brought their car back under control.
Protyre also pointed out that motorists who get stuck in ice or snow should not spin their wheels excessively, as this can burst tyres.
Meanwhile, women drivers who think their tyres may need replacing may want to find a female-friendly garage without delay, after the same company recently warned putting off such car repairs can put lives at risk.
