Summer means longer days and better weather and Scots will no doubt be getting behind the wheel to drive to scenic sunny spots.

But motorists are being warned that certain hot weather driving practices could land drivers with costly fines. Under rule 237, the Highway Code hots a list of guidelines for summer drivers - to keep motorists safe.

Ignoring this advice could see drivers handed a £1,000 fine, as they would 'fail to have proper control' of your vehicle, the Mirror reported.

Firstly, drivers are urged to keep their vehicle 'well ventilated' as the mercury rises. This is to avoid drowsiness and make sure you maintain full control at the wheel.The Highway Code also says motorists need to be aware that roads can become treacherous if rain falls after a dry spell.
