Documentary following snowplough drivers, RAC patrols and heavy-recovery specialists working to ensure the roads are kept clear if severe winter weather hits. As downpours across Britain create treacherous driving conditions, Neill Devlin faces one of his toughest jobs yet when he is called to remove a 26-ton HGV that has skidded off a narrow country road and overturned into sodden ground. In the Highlands, snowplough team Chris Tate and Donald Mackenzie fight to keep the Applecross Pass open and are beaten back twice by high winds and big drifts. After more torrential rain in December, RAC patrols race to help flooded cars and bogged-down motorists, and come to the rescue of a family after a high-speed crash on the motorway.
