Drivers could be dealt 'on-the-spot' fines for breaking Highway Code rules this winter. Greg Wilson, CEO of Quotezone.co.uk, said many motorists wrongly assume winter guidance in the Highway Code is optional, when several rules are legally enforceable.

Mr Wilson detailed how the rules "aren't just safety advice, they're legal obligations" with something as basic as failing to clear snow from car roofs or wiping down a number plate leading to "insurers rejecting a claim after a collision".

Mr Wilson shared: "Winter driving demands extra care. The Highway Code is clear, and ignoring it can have significant financial and safety consequences."
