Gardaí in Donegal have issued a safety warning as many of the roads across the county are in a dangerous condition this morning with black ice.
They urged road users to drive with care and assume that no road is ice free.
They reminded those driving in icy conditions, to clear your windows and mirrors before you set out and to slow down and give yourself time and space if you need to react to a loss of traction should you skid on ice
They also advised road users to watch out for black ice, and if the road looks polished or glossy it could be black ice.
The gardaí also advised road users to use dipped headlights at all times of poor visibility to ensure you are seen by other motorists and to watch out for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists and allow extra space.
