Yellow ice warning

Met Éireann Weather Warning - Status Yellow Warning : Low Temperature/Ice warning.

While our teams will be working to salt roads, please take caution and be responsible while driving on the roads and expect frost and ice.

keep a sharp lookout for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users

manoeuvre gently and avoid harsh braking, acceleration or steering as these can induce a skid

use the highest gear possible to reduce the engine revs as this will help avoid wheel spin

when travelling downhill, especially through a series of bends, select a low gear as early as possible and allow your speed to reduce using the brake pedal gently
