So apparently it is summer but, in true British style, the rain is blessing us with its presence and, to add to this joy, heavy winds are due over the next few days. Here at RED Driving School, we want to provide you with some top tips on how to drive in adverse weather conditions which most of you will inevitably experience at some point. Whether you are learning to drive or have just passed your test, bad weather can be daunting to go out in if you are not used to it. Here are some tips to help you drive safely.

Friday, June 15th, 2012RED Driving School continues its commitment to improve road safety amid government road safety budget cuts
Friday, July 23rd, 2010RED Driving School has road safety at the heart of all its training packages. We believe in road safety and will continue our work to raise awareness of the subject, which is ever more important in the wake of the government’s planned budget cuts now starting to be seen in regions across the UK.
We invest a great deal of money each year into our road safety initiative; our Road Safety Unit visits schools, colleges, promotional and charity fund raising events without any cost to the various institutions.

We support Brake, the road safety charity, and have trained staff as its Ambassadors to deliver road safety presentations to communities.
You only need to read the facts to understand why we are so passionate about our commitment to road safety:
•   About 3000 people die each year on our roads
•   Road traffic incidents are the single biggest killer of young people between 16 and 25 years old
•   More women between the ages of 16 and 19 die as passengers than drivers
•   A third of all drivers killed are male and 20 years of age or less
•   Young drivers have more crashes at night
•   Young drivers’ crash risk increases when only accompanied by their peer group
•   17-25 year olds are 10% of drivers but account for a third of all fatalities.
If you would like to raise awareness of road safety in your school, college or community to help reduce the number of casualties on our roads, please contact us to discuss how we can help.
