“Please be extra careful on roads. Use lights/mirrors, take it slow and steady and drive to road conditions,” they added.
The warning comes a day after one of the biggest car pile ups in UK history.

Over 130 vehicles collided in dense fog at the Sheppey Crossing in Kent yesterday - injuring 60 people, eight seriously.
