Why Winter Driving Skills are Important
The United Kingdom often experiences unpredictable winter weather, including snow, sleet, rain, and frost. These conditions can make roads more dangerous, increasing the risk of skidding, poor visibility, and slower response times. Our Winter Driving lessons focus on techniques that allow you to remain safe, calm, and in control during these challenging driving conditions.
