‼️BLACK ICE🚨

🧊 “New Drivers” 🫵
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
AND WHY YOU WILL NOT SEE IT…‼️

🫵 Black ice is one of the most dangerous winter hazards because it does not look like ice at all. It blends into the road surface and appears like a normal dark patch of tarmac.
‼️There is no shine.
‼️No sparkle.
‼️No warning.
It’s just a thin invisible layer of ice with almost no grip. ❄️

If there is frost on the roofs of houses and or on pavements and grass verges or your car has collected ice on the bodywork or windows… “Then the road has the same conditions”.

If you must venture out on the roads in poor road conditions then prepare and plan your journey.
“Be careful”
tell someone your estimated time of arrival at your destination. You just cannot always see ice on the surface of the road… 🚨

‼️Potential places where black ice forms first:
❄️ Bridges
Cold air passes over and under the surface so they freeze sooner than the rest of the road.

❄️ Shaded bends
Areas that never get direct sunlight stay frozen much longer.
These are the places where cars lose control most often.

❄️ Rural roads
❄️ Country roads
❄️ Side roads
❄️ Less traffic road areas…
❄️ Less salted roads…

‼️🚨The more open and exposure to cold air, then the more likely to be
Ideal conditions for invisible ice.🚨‼️

‼️🚨 Preventative things to do if you suspect black ice:
❄️ Relax your normal speed…
❄️ Keep your speed lower when the temperature is close to freezing
❄️ Double you safe distance from the vehicle in front of you of you…
❄️ Roll safely up to junctions… avoid abrupt stopping 👌
❄️ Use gentle steering and slow inputs…👌
❄️ Stay relaxed and smooth with every movement
❄️ If the road looks wet but the temperature is near freezing assume there is ice…

‼️🚨What to do if you hit black ice:
❄️ Do not brake sharply
❄️ Do not steer suddenly
❄️ Ease off the accelerator
❄️ Keep the wheel straight and let the tyres regain grip
❄️ If the rear slides keep your steering relaxed, gentle and controlled…

‼️Panic reactions make the slide worse.

👌Calm inputs, help the car settle.

‼️🚨The danger is in what you cannot see…🫵

🫵 Think safe, Drive safe, please “Stay Safe”❄️

✅ Driving: Slow down, allow extra time, and keep a safe distance.
✅ Pavements: Surfaces may be slippery—wear suitable footwear.
✅ Frozen Water: Stay off lakes, rivers, and ponds. Ice is dangerous.
✅ Check on Vulnerable People: Make sure friends, family, and neighbours are safe and warm.

How old do you think your children are when they start learning to drive.

Most of you will say 17.

Wrong. It’s from the age of about 3 or 4. Yes that’s correct. They are your passengers. They often watch what you do, say and act. So they are forming attitudes about road safety from a very early age. Where are these attitudes coming from.

When they are 17 you entrust them with us to help them pass their test. BUT, it’s not just about passing their test. It’s about developing safe and careful drivers. Between the ages of 17 & 25 they are most vulnerable due to the brain not having matured fully. This age group make up a small percentage of the nations drivers but are involved in over 20% of the nations fatal RTC’s.

The biggest killer of teenage girls in this country is probably their boyfriends driving.

The majority of this is down to attitudes that are formed over many years from that young age.

Yet a lot of parents are more concerned with the cost of lessons and how many their child will need. Many are not interested in the safety aspect of learning to drive. Just the cost. What price a life or lives.

On average it cost around £2000 to learn to drive. For some it’s more and for some it’s less.

So for that price you would like us to create safe and considerate drivers. And many of us do.

I’m proud of my record.

So let’s say we are talking about 40 hours on average. In that time apart from actually learning to drive correctly and safely, we also possibly have to try and change an attitude to risk that has built up over at least 10 years.

This attitude generally comes from you.

So the next time you drive too close to the vehicle in front.

Do a dodgy overtake

Exceed the speed limit

Be an amber gambler

Run a red light

Use the phone while driving

Start moaning and swearing about the driver in front.

JUST THINK FOR A MOMENT.

This behaviour and attitude is rubbing of on your child. And they will see it as normal behaviour.

So please help us to help you children become safe drivers.

THE REALITY OF LEARNING TO DRIVE

Before anyone makes the decision to learn to drive, please consider the following points that I’m about to make.

1; You are learning to operate a machine that if used or operated incorrectly, or irresponsibly can result in serious injury or, even worse fatality.

2; Your learning process will not be simple, quick or cheap. The co-ordination and spatial awareness takes time to develop - particularly to a point where it becomes second nature.

3; As the driver you are legally responsible for the vehicle, yourself and equally responsible for the safety of others. Being a learner driver doesn’t excuse you of these responsibilities - nor does it make you immune from prosecution if laws are broken.

4; The importance of knowing your subject matter should not be underestimated or taken lightly. The theory test isn’t just an obstacle on the way to your practical test. Revise thoroughly and aim to pass with the highest score possible. The more knowledge that you learn and retain can potentially make a massive difference to all round safety.

5: We are all individuals who learn at different rates. Friends or family may have reached the standard more quickly, but don’t treat the learning process as a competition. Equally guard against becoming demoralised if you’re taking longer to learn than you thought. Don’t let pride get in the way of safety.

6; Always listen to your Instructor, and take on board their advice. An Instructor’s advice is more likely to be correct and up to date than that of friends or family - no matter how well meaning. Your Instructor is also the best person to advise you of when you’re ready to take a test.

7; When you have passed your test please remember that a test pass means that you’re safe enough to continue learning on your own. It takes years of experience to become a truly good driver, so never assume that you’re the finished article.
