Winter Driving in Idaho

With our first snowfall of the season, it is important to be reminded of some of the hazards of winter driving. the following videos will show you some of the road conditions and pointers for driving on the roads in Idaho during the wintertime.

Watch the following videos and answer these questions:

1. What are some of the hazards of winter driving?
2. What is the website and telephone number to get the road report?
3. If you must drive, what are some things you should do?
4. What is Craig Lough's advice to teenage drivers?
5. Where does ice form first?
6. Should you use your cruise control while driving on wet or slick roads?
7. What is Kyle Wills' advice?
8. What do you do if you are involved in an accident?

A good driver anticipates what will happen to avoid possible hazards or conditions, and an ordinary driver reacts to situations they are in.

Drive safely!!!

As skills testers, we have often been asked to teach driver’s education.  After School District #93 discontinued their driver’s education program, we felt there became a need.  We are committed to teach driver education to students using flexible scheduling to assure students are able to participate in other activities after school hours, and still participate in driver education.  We believe communication is important between parent, student and teachers.  We are committed in providing your student with the best possible driver education experience.  Our goal is to teach young drivers to be safe drivers in our communities.
