Superintendent Louise Blakelock, Deputy Head of Road Policing for Police Scotland, said: “We are continuing to experience rain, sleet and snow which has led to some difficult driving conditions over the last couple of days across much of Scotland.
“I would like to remind drivers to plan accordingly and check the conditions ahead.

“No-one should ever place themselves at risk on the roads and there are alternative arrangements you can make such as delaying travel until conditions improve or using public transport.
“I want to ask drivers not to become complacent and the key is to be fully prepared, drive safely and to the conditions.”
