Synopsis

Conquer dark roads, heavy rain, thick fog, and winter ice with complete confidence and control.

Driving after dark or through severe seasonal weather presents some of the most dangerous challenges a driver can face. Driving at Night & in Bad Weather is your practical, step-by-step handbook designed to eliminate driving anxiety, improve hazard perception, and keep you safe when visibility drops.

Because learner drivers rarely experience extreme weather or extensive nighttime driving before passing their test, having a dedicated reference guide is essential for post-test development, Pass Plus courses, and year-round commuting. Mastering these core skills helps you maintain vehicle control, prevent sudden skids, and protect your passengers.

Inside This Up-to-Date Guide, You’ll Learn:

• Nighttime Hazard Perception: Manage blinding headlight glare from oncoming vehicles, adjust to unlit rural roads, and optimize instrument panel lighting.
• Rain, Spray & Aquaplaning: Safe braking techniques on soaked tarmac, preventing hydroplaning, and navigating standing water without damaging your engine.
• Fog & Mist Protocol: Correct front and rear fog light usage, avoiding illegal glare penalties, and judging safe stopping distances in low visibility.
• Snow, Ice & Skid Control: Smooth pedal control on slippery surfaces, black ice awareness, skid prevention, and emergency winter vehicle preparation.
• High Winds & Storm Conditions: Handling sudden side gusts on open carriageways, overtakes near high-sided vehicles, and seasonal car maintenance.

Designed For:

• Newly Qualified Drivers: Build crucial confidence for autumn, winter, and night driving after passing your practical test.
• Pass Plus Candidates: Ideal study companion for adverse weather and night driving training modules.
• Daily Commuters: Essential practical advice for staying safe during dark, wet, and icy seasonal travel.
• Supervising Parents & Instructors: A reliable reference tool for coaching new drivers through difficult road conditions.

Take the anxiety out of seasonal driving and stay in control whatever the weather. Add Driving at Night & in Bad Weather to your basket today!
