About Course

Ice, snow, fog, low sun and long dark evenings make winter the most demanding time of year to drive. This course combines the Highway Code rules for bad weather with practical checks for your car and yourself – including when it is wiser not to go at all.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information based on The Highway Code and GOV.UK. It does not replace professional driver training. Always follow the current Highway Code.
