Transport for Buckinghamshire (TfB) is
busy preparing for the winter weather and one of the services offered to
residents is the opportunity to attend a ‘FREE Winter Driving Workshop’ to gain
the knowledge and skills to help drive safely during the winter months.
Of all the seasons, winter requires
the most care and preparation if you're to stay safe on the road and avoid
a breakdown, and attending a free winter driving workshop may help you be ready
for the challenge.
TfB is working in partnership with STS
Tyre Pros and Kwik Fit Garages to host and deliver the workshops which include;
- A
presentation by a former Class 1 police response driver on how to drive in
winter weather
- A session with garage technicians who demonstrate how to conduct basic vehicle checks
Feedback from previous winter driving
workshops has been very positive, with attendees commenting on how worthwhile
the workshops are. County Councillor Mark Shaw, Cabinet Member for
Transportation said “winter driving can bring challenging conditions for all
drivers, be it heavy rain, icy roads or falling snow. I would encourage all
drivers to attend one of these workshops which are intended to support drivers
by providing winter driving tips, from preparing your vehicle and looking after
your car to advice on driving in snow.”
The 2016 workshops all start at
07.00pm and finish approximately 08.30pm
