For those who don’t feel comfortable driving in snow and ice, and who could do with some winter driving training, Rally School Ireland’s winter driving training course will be of huge benefit in boosting driver confidence as well as car control, writes Trish Whelan. I know how beneficial this course is because, I’ve done it.
Their BMW Winter Driver Training Programme combines good practical advise with invaluable driving experience on their own circuit which replicates urban and winding rural roads in wet, icy and snowy conditions.
It will help reduce your reaction time, improve your car control and raise your confidence level as you learn things like skid recovery, the difference between driving on winter wheels and tyres over summer tyres, as well as object avoidance using the car’s Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
