Some tips include:

Reduce speed

Car tires do not have adequate traction on snow. This is why you should reduce speed. Also, you should be smooth with your pedal and steering inputs. Drive carefully.

Do one thing at a time

Don’t brake and turn simultaneously. This puts too much pressure on one tire. It could lose traction. Rather, brake, turn and accelerate. Keep your eyes on the target at all times.

Some other tips for driving in the snow include:

• Keep a scraper with a brush in the car
• Make sure the windshield washers function well.
• Check that the wiper fluid is filled up
• On slippery surfaces, brake gently. Use light pressure while accelerating
• Before digging your car out of snow, make sure the exhaust tailpipe is clear from snow. If it is blocked, you could be at risk of inhaling carbon monoxide.
• Test the brakes when starting out in bad weather to see how it can take before the car stops.
• If you drive a white car, turn on your lights during a snowstorm. This prevents your car from being camouflaged from other drivers.

Note that the risk of a car crash for a learner is lower than an experienced driver.

You can help your child by:

Planning ahead before driving lessons

If you plan properly, your teen will be a responsible and safe driver.

You can start preparing your child for this process when they reach early to mid-teen age. This is before the child is qualified to apply for a learner’s permit. Consider these factors:

• How will she learn? Will you prefer to teach her by yourself or you prefer a driving instructor? Do you want a combination of both?
• You should also consider the legal age requirement for learners. The number of passengers and type of car should be considered according to the requirements of your jurisdiction.
• Ground rules on using the family’s car. Will the child be allowed to drive with her friends in the car after being licensed? Can she drive at night?
• Car insurance. Check if your car insurance covers the teenager.

Be sure to inform your child that the process of learning to drive and being licensed to drive is the beginning of a lifelong learning process.
