Snow Joke For Winter Drivers say Car Rentals.co.uk

Posted on by

(PRWEB) October 13, 2006

With weather forecasters predicting one of the coldest winters on record and the ski season just around the corner, car hire specialist carrentals.co.uk is warning customers not to be complacent about driving in potentially treacherous snow and ice.

Andy Stevens, managing director of carrentals.co.uk, said: ?Winter driving can be difficult and dangerous, with bad conditions on the roads often worsened by inexperienced, unprepared drivers. In the UK most drivers simply don?t have the practice of driving in demanding winter conditions, and this can put both themselves and other drivers in danger.?

The warning comes at a time when a growing number of winter sport enthusiasts are opting to book an independent ski break, combining low-cost flights and car hire to their ski resort. Carrentals.co.uk ski car hire bookings are already showing growth of 20 per cent year on year, with most British drivers having driven fewer miles in snow than they did when they learnt to drive.

Scott added: ?With a growing number of customers now hiring a car for ski holidays, and with the winter weather warnings, we would advise all drivers to learn more about the do?s and don?ts of driving in snowy conditions. Many of our tips are just common sense, but all of them are important for the safety of our customers and other drivers.?

When you think of winter in Britain, the mind conjures up a smattering of snow and a sorry looking snowman or two. About as far removed as possible from this image is the Sapporo Ice Festival, where immaculately sculpted baseball stars mingle with polar bears and icy reconstructions of Horyuji Temple. Inside Japan Tours’ ‘Winter Highlights’ offers Japan holiday-makers the chance to take in these wonderful sculptures, enjoy some winter sports at one of the finest ski resorts in Japan and warm up in a hot spring bath – if the snow monkeys don’t beat them to it.

‘Shovel the Snow or Leave It”‘ is a new article available free from Clifford Law Offices. The Chicago law office is attempting to educate the public with legal articles on their personal injury attorneys’ website.

In cold climate cities across the country, winter brings with it a sharp increase in slip and fall accidents. The question: to shovel or not to shovel. Illinois follows the natural accumulation rule.

Clifford’s Chicago Lawyer article provides a look into Illinois’ treatment of liability for snow and ice removal relative to other jurisdictions and reveals what property owners need to know before picking up that shovel. By focusing on the different standards required by the law, Clifford employs the distinctions to provide the reader with a clearer understanding of snow and ice removal liability in the public and private domain in Illinois.
