Winter conditions such as heavy rain, ice, snow, and slush create challenging driving environments. Our winter driving awareness course teaches techniques for controlling your vehicle in these conditions, reducing the risk of accidents caused by skidding, sliding, or loss of traction. The course will also make drivers feel more confident behind the wheel, knowing they have the tools to handle slippery roads and sudden weather changes.
By learning about the limitations of your vehicle and how to navigate challenging weather and how to recognise hazards, drivers are less likely to make errors that could lead to accidents. The course also covers how to prepare your vehicle for winter, from checking tires and fluid levels to making sure your battery is strong enough to handle colder temperatures. The course enhances both personal safety and overall driving ability during adverse weather, making it a wise choice for anyone who drives in wintery conditions.
