Drivers are urged to take extra care on the roads as severe weather is forecast for much of Scotland over the coming days.

Chief Superintendent Stewart Carle, head of Road Policing at Police Scotland said:
“With the wintery weather on its way, I would urge drivers across Scotland to start to take extra care on the roads for their journeys this afternoon and into Monday’s rush hour. Snow is already falling in some areas, and drivers should make sure they are prepared for their journey with warm clothing, food and drink, sufficient fuel and a charged mobile phone.
“Into Tuesday morning we are expecting a high risk of disruption to travel across the country, in line with the yellow weather warning from the Met Office.
“There could be significant traffic delays so please start to plan your journey now and consider if you really need to travel when conditions are poor.
“The amber weather warning on Wednesday morning will prove particularly challenging and we will continue to give advice on social media and via radio stations so please tune in and follow @PoliceScotland, @MetOffice and @TrafficScotland for the latest updates.”
