Difficult road conditions left by winter may lead hazardous roads for bikers

As the winter season comes to a close and indeed the technical moment of spring has arrived a few reports as to the effects of this last particularly cold winter have begun to compile. RAC reports that this past cold spell cost in excess of 1.9 billion pounds for specifics to the exceedingly cold months. These costs are for items such as deicers, snow plowing, road salt and increased need for salt removing car washes. A cold winter as just occurred results in more breakdown cover callouts. The reasons for this are simple items such as battery failures due to the colder temperatures. More complex reasons for callouts will actually be following us through the spring with breakdowns due to harsh collisions with potholes. The potholes having been caused by the inclement weather. Harsh winter weather results in a 30% increase in call outs for roadside assistance. A similar report from Green Flag Breakdown, one of the UK’s leading cover companies offering everything from local- basic to European breakdown cover single trip and longer term, confirms the higher than usual incidence of callouts for this past winter season. Generally speaking higher incidence of callouts results in increased rates for breakdown cover. This will mean the need for anyone purchasing new breakdown cover or renewing an old policy to compare breakdown cover thoroughly before deciding on a company. Such a breakdown cover comparison should include an examination of features such as home towing and home start. Remember a one year contract for breakdown cover that begins today will be the cover policy you use throughout next winter.
