Autumn may be one of the UK's most beautiful seasons, but it can also be one of the most challenging for drivers.

In fact, the AA reports that road crashes increase by 23% during autumn compared to summer, as wet weather, darker evenings and low sun affect driving conditions.

From slippery leaves and standing water to morning fog and frost, drivers face a range of seasonal hazards. Whether you're driving a car, van or HGV, taking a few extra precautions can help keep you, your vehicle and other road users safe.

An expired CPC means you cannot legally drive professionally, which could leave you sidelined just when the best earning opportunities become available.
