“Hi Peter,
I just wanted to drop you a message to say how much we appreciate Trefor’s help.
Matthew passed his driving test in Newbury today, and Trefor was a major part of this success. He was brilliant with Matthew, both with praise and knowledge, and was fantastic with his communication with me too.
We are very happy for you to post this on your Facebook page.
Would highly recommend you & Trefor.
Many thanks again
Kim”
Stay safe and enjoy your freedom 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘
Driving in adverse conditions is something every UK motorist faces sooner or later. From heavy rain and fog to ice, snow, and high winds, poor weather can quickly turn an ordinary journey into a challenging and potentially dangerous one. Knowing how to adapt your driving is key to staying safe.
In wet conditions, tyres lose grip and stopping distances increase dramatically. Always slow down, avoid harsh braking or acceleration, and leave extra space between you and the car ahead. If your vehicle begins to aquaplane, ease off the accelerator and steer gently until you regain traction.
Fog brings its own dangers, reducing visibility and making it harder for other drivers to see you. Use dipped headlights and fog lights when necessary, but remember to switch them off once visibility improves. Avoid tailgating. It’s tempting to follow the car ahead too closely, but this greatly increases the risk of collision.
In snow or icy weather, drive smoothly and at low speeds. Accelerate gradually, brake gently, and use the highest gear possible to maintain control. Clear all windows, mirrors, and lights before setting off, and avoid unnecessary journeys if conditions are severe.
Strong winds can also affect stability, especially for high-sided vehicles. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and be prepared for sudden gusts when passing large vehicles or driving over exposed bridges.
The golden rule for driving in any adverse weather is simple: slow down, stay alert, and plan ahead. Patience and preparation make all the difference when the conditions turn against you.
