Winter driving tips

With the arrival of the cold weather and icy conditions it is imperative we adjust our driving accordingly.

Below are some tips to get you through safely this winter.

  • Save ten minutes before the journey to de-ice, de-mist and warm your vehicle.
  • Dry your shoes to make sure you don’t slip on the pedals.
  • Make sure your lights are working properly so you are visible to other road users.
  • In snowy or icy conditions, manage the accelerator to avoid wheelspin.
  • Leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front. Your stopping distance will have increased significantly.
  • Pack a hot drink and a warm blanket in case you get stuck.
  • Ensure your vehicle is maintained correctly, especially tyres, wipers, washers and lights.

Making sure your vehicle is properly maintained and serviced is always important, especially in winter due to the slippery road conditions and poor visibility. We can carry out a complimentary Vehicle Health Check to ensure your vehicle is in tip top condition. We can check the tread, tyre pressure, battery life and more.

To be even more prepared, take advantage of our Winter Parts Promotion. We have bundled together the essentials for you at discounted rates (only selected vehicles, limited stock).

Customer Testimonials

Steve Pattison Director for Kail and Co.

We purchased our first all-electric Mercedes eVito and liked it so much we came back for another one. Kail and Co are busy moving their ICE vehicles to electric and have plans to switch their entire fleet. Our previous eVito is the older model with shorter range, we use that for more localised journeys. However, finding out the new eVito came with almost double the range was music to our ears and it complements our fleet perfectly for those longer journeys. We found Marshall Truck & Van through their Passenger Car team and found them to be very professional, easy to work with, and they followed everything up for us.

Michael Freeman, Logistics General Manager for Johnsons Stalbridge

We have been going to Marshall for quite some years now. We have always found Mercedes Commercial Vehicles to be trustworthy, reliable and have always been our preferred brand. Our new eVito is very impressive and we’ve received excellent feedback from our drivers. Fleet Sales Executive Kevin Downham is an excellent ambassador.
