Caravan insurance customers nervous about taking to icy roads for a festive break may benefit from some expert driving tips.

According to motor industry regulator Motor Codes, regular vehicle servicing and care will ensure cars and caravans run smoothly, safely and efficiently over the colder months.

RAC information manager Frank Flynn reminded drivers tyres are "vital" safety equipment as they are the only contact between the vehicle and the road.

As the temperature drops, so does the tyre pressure, he added, making checking and maintaining them all the more important.

Middlesex-based mechanic S&B Motors suggests a little on-driveway maintenance will also keep cars in tip-top condition.

Using an all-season screenwash, topping up coolant levels and regular wax application will protect vehicles from the elements.

Finally, campaign group RoadSafe urges motorists to allow a little longer for every journey as skidding can be caused by harsh acceleration.

In related news, the public have named Cornwall as the UK's top holiday destination in the British Travel awards.
