Road Safety Expert Warns Drivers of Storm Eowyn Risks: Fines and Dangers Highlighted

As Storm Eowyn approaches, bringing torrential rain and gale-force winds to the UK, road safety specialist Adam Jones from HD Claims  is urging drivers to take extra precautions to stay safe on the roads—or risk serious fines and accidents.

Severe weather conditions during storms like Eowyn drastically increase the chances of collisions and other road incidents. Drivers who fail to adapt their behaviour to hazardous conditions may not only endanger themselves and others but could also face fines for careless driving or other violations. Penalties for offences such as driving without due care and attention can result in fines of up to £2,500, points on a licence, or even disqualification.

Adam Jones explains:

“Storm Eowyn is set to create challenging driving conditions, with reduced visibility, slippery roads, and potential flooding. It’s crucial that drivers slow down, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and avoid unnecessary journeys. Ignoring these warnings could lead to serious accidents or legal consequences.”

Top Tips for Driving Safely During Storm Eowyn:

  1. Reduce Your Speed: Wet and windy conditions increase stopping distances. Drive slowly and cautiously.
  2. Increase Following Distance: Leave at least double the usual gap between your vehicle and the one in front.
  3. Avoid Flooded Roads: Driving through standing water can damage your car and pose serious risks to your safety.
  4. Check Your Vehicle: Ensure wipers, tyres, and lights are in good working condition before setting off.
  5. Plan Your Journey: Monitor weather updates and avoid non-essential travel in high-risk areas.

Fines and Legal Risks:

  • Driving Without Due Care and Attention: Up to £2,500 fine and up to 9 points on your licence.
  • Using Hazard Lights Incorrectly: £100 fine if used while driving without good reason.
  • Splashing Pedestrians: Up to £5,000 fine under public nuisance laws.

Storm Eowyn serves as a reminder for drivers to respect the road and weather conditions. Adjusting driving behaviour not only reduces risks but also ensures compliance with UK road safety laws.
