Number of collisions 'creeping up', Police say

Police are reiterating the message to drive safely on Island as weather conditions begin to change.

The Roads Policing Unit has issued another plea, saying it's seen the number of collisions creeping up on a daily basis despite only reaching the halfway point of October.

As a result, officers are once again asking motorists to respect whatever road conditions they're facing, use their lights if light is fading and watch their speed.

It comes with the constabulary's annual Winter Vehicle Check Operation expected to start in a few weeks time.
