Five tips for safe travels during the festive period

Motoring Advice

With Christmas just around the corner, CVSL is bringing you five tips for safe travels during the festive period. During the Christmas period 13 million Brits take to the road to visit friends and relatives across the country.

Tip 1: Don’t drink and drive
However tempting it may be to drink that second large glass of red over a Christmas dinner, it wouldn’t be a wise choice. In 2012 there were 6,630 drink driving accidents, resulting 230 people killed by years end. Before setting off to visit family over Christmas it’s worth having a chat with your partner/family to nominate the designated driver for the day.

Tip 2: Security of your car
Packing the car with expensive Christmas presents? Make sure not leave any items on display and be sure to lock the door as thieves are more active over the Christmas period.

Tip 3: Visibility
Will it be a white Christmas this year? Before setting off on your travels make sure you clear  your window screens of any snow or ice.

Tip 4: Road and weather conditions
Road and weather conditions can be unpredictable in December – so before setting off, make sure you are prepared in case of break down or accident. We advise all motorists to have a blanket and water supplies with them at all times. It’s also worth checking the weather forecast before embarking on your journey. If there is fog, make sure to open the drivers window so you can hear traffic, especially when you are approaching busy junctions or crossroads. Rainy December day? Make sure to brake on time – as stopping distances double in wet conditions. Ice on the road? Avoid harsh and sudden braking whilst snow will also reduce your visibility so we recommend the use dipped headlights.

Tip 5: Night driving
Driving home late after that Christmas dinner at your parents? Make sure to clean your windscreen and check your lights before setting off. Also, if you are travelling a long distance make sure to factor in a break every two hours.

CVSL is wishing you a very merry Christmas and safe travels during the festive period.

CVSL delivers van at Nottingham care home

Car Leasing

We have recently delivered a modified van at the Grand Care Centre in Nottingham. The vehicle will ensure that residents can reach hospital appointments on time and in the familiar comfort of their own transport. The customised van will make a 4-mile daily trip to a local hospital, which before had to be made by private or hospital transportation.

The vehicle has been altered to meet the needs of the residents, including chair lift, removable seats as well as a hand-held rails and a ramp.

Kay Johnson, Client Experience Manager, said:  “The health, wellbeing and happiness of our residents is always our number one priority, as is providing a home-from-home experience in surroundings that provide the highest levels of comfort. We were in desperate need for a vehicle that could take our residents to and from important appointments as well as out and about for recreational activities and we’re delighted with the end result of this minibus. Right from the word go it has been a pleasure to work together with CVSL – the modifications made are perfect for our needs and the end result has exceeded our every expectation.’’

Here at CVSL we are much more than just a leasing company, this is a great example of how we go that extra mile for our clients to meet their expectations.
