Winter Driving School is on!

January 11th, 2012 : Filed under Uncategorized No Comments

We finally have enough winter and our iced facility is ready for us to start training drivers how to be safe in limited traction conditions. There is no better way to learn how to control a vehicle on ice than on REAL ice. Please note, we hold these schools in the Fairgrounds in the Town of Minden on solid ground, not a lake!

ILR Car Control School News February 2012
Greetings
 We trust you are enjoying the driving tips and forwarding them to your friends and family.

New Video on our Winter School Two of our readers, Eva and Johan in Stockholm, tell us that in order to get a driver’s licence in Sweden you have to pass a winter driving course.  Yet here in Canada, where admittedly THIS winter has been mild and relatively snow free in southern Ontario, we allow people to get behind the wheel with NO compulsory winter driving training at all.  What is wrong with that picture?

ILR is trying to fill that gap. A couple of weeks ago we were able to capture the essence of our ILR Goodyear

Advanced Winter Driving  Schools in Minden with this video.  In four and a half minutes you will better
understand what you will learn and how to be safer in winter. In fact, the video contains many winter driving tips. We want to be your partner in winter driving safety.

We have openings available in all upcoming schools through to March 10 [weather permitting]. Register here. Thanks Goodyear for the cozy, functional jackets.
