Cumbria’s Police and Crime Commissioner Peter McCall is urging motorists to be cautious as the county moves to Tier 2 restrictions.
“Dark nights and mornings limit our field of vision and we can’t see as far ahead as we can during the summer months, so it is essential that we drive more carefully and follow the rules of the road to best avoid dangerous or fatal accidents," said Mr McCall.
“If the journey is essential please drive to the conditions of the road: drive at an appropriate speed, always wear your seatbelt and do not use a mobile phone.
"Take your time as well if the weather conditions are inclement then allow longer for your journey.
“Although this year we will have to spent it differently due to Coronavirus, December is a time for festivities, happiness and hope – please do not risk this and your life for the sake of arriving somewhere five minutes sooner."
