| More collisions occur in adverse conditions due to the reduced visibility and increased stopping distances. Many drivers are unaware of how long it takes to stop in poor weather conditions, and as such tend to travel too close to the vehicle in front, not allowing themselves enough time to be able to stop safely in an emergency. Poor vehicle cleanliness is also an issue, as it is more difficult, and more tiring (leading to the earlier onset of fatigue) to see out of a dirty windscreen (dirty on the outside or the inside), and it is more difficult for other road users to see a vehicle with dirty lights. |
Interesting Fact 34% of all road crashes occur on wet road surfaces - at night it is even worse, with 46% of all crashes occurring on wet road surfaces |

| Our course module focuses on educating employees about the issues involved when driving in adverse weather conditions, including some ideas about risk assessing any journey to decide for themselves whether it is appropriate to set out on, or to curtail their journey. It also looks at some practical solutions to make driving in poor weather, especially at night, easier. | ||||||||||
| This training course may be appropriate if the risk assessments show that you have employees driving in area / countries where snow is common, or your crash database shows that you have a lot of collisions during adverse weather conditions. | ||||||||||
