The snow has and still is terrorising the country making it almost impossible for many people to make it into work. There have been so many accidents occuring both on road and off road and many schools have been shut due to the snow. On top of all of this has been the big winter freeze that must have devastated a lot of the older generations living in the country.
The snow is soon set to melt for the last time and with this comes further problems. One of the problems is that it leaves the roads and pavements in a bit of a state. Dirty cars have been driving over the roads and have made them a bit of a hell hole and the same goes for people walking on the pavements.
You will notice over the next few weeks that existing potholes are growing bigger and new cracks are starting to form in the road. All of the snow melts and the water goes underneath the tarmac. This is all fine until night falls and we reach freezing temperatures. Once the water has frozen it will expand and because underground there is nowhere for it to go, it expands into the tarmac and forces cracks. The traffic then drives over this and forces the tarmac to collapse on itself making the pothole larger and larger.
What is the best thing to do in the snow? Make sure that if you are travelling that you are wither in a 4 by 4 or something big. Failing this you could Transit Van Lease or of course Large Van Lease as this will allow you to travel a bit easier.
If you need to get into work as a group why not tryMinibus Leasing.
