Navigating the dangers of winter driving

The onset of winter means brings with it shorter days, freezing weather, and icy roads. This makes driving increasingly hazardous; according to data from Admiral, the months from November to February see the highest percentage of severe accidents take place, with a 25% spike of car accident claims in November compared to April.

Digital assets – from cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), to stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and more – is a rapidly evolving field.
