For a necessary trip in a combustion-engine vehicle with a risk of becoming stranded in snow, which preparation is appropriate?

Correct answer

Enough fuel, warm clothing, water, a torch and food.

Carry enough fuel, warm clothing or blankets, water, food and a torch, as well as a charged phone and appropriate winter equipment. Check forecasts and restrictions and avoid the trip if conditions do not permit safe travel. A GPS or phone alone does not replace these preparations. If stranded, report your location and follow emergency services’ instructions.
