Essential Winter Driving Tips
As learner drivers and experienced motorists alike plan for the cold months ahead, it may also be an apt time for them to be following some essential winter driving tips. Enjoy More Driving School offers the following advice, essential to keeping you safe on the icy roads:
* Check the weather before setting off and react to police warnings about closed roads. Only make essential journeys.
* Complete your Vehicle Safety Checks : VPOWER - Visibility, Petrol, Oil, Water, Electrics, Rubber.
* Travel with de-icer and a scraper and clean any ice or condensation from all the windows before journeys.
* A squirt of WD40 will prevent frozen door locks.
* Prevent wheel spin by setting off in second gear, releasing the clutch and accelerating gently and avoiding high revs.
* Drive in higher gears and not too fast to remain in control.
* Leave plenty of distance from the car in front as stopping distances are increased by up to 10 times in icy conditions.
* Give adequate clearance when passing parked vehicles and other obstructions.
* Lower speed early when on bends, approaching junctions or going downhill, reduce your speed early to retain control and be in a suitable gear before driving through them.
* If your car loses grip, take your foot off the accelerator and direct the front wheels where you want to go. If you find yourself in a skid, steer into it.
* Keep to the main roads as they are more likely to be gritted.
* Turn on your Dim lights to ensure your 'active status' to other road users.

Who Needs Refresher Driving Lessons?
Taking driving lessons can be a daunting experience for some people. There is the DSA Theory and Hazard Perception test to prepare for, as well as the practical road skills that need to be developed in order for a learner driver to be able to take and pass the DSA Practical Driving Test. Unfortunately, albeit understandable, most people with a full drivers licence choose to put the days of driving lessons behind them without ever refreshing their driving skills. However, it is in fact the case that many drivers pick up bad habits while they are on the road – perhaps not using direction indicators with every turning, or taking short mobile phone calls whilst driving or constantly speeding up then braking harshly. It’s these bad habits that can cause fatal accidents, and current statistics for Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) show alarmingly high rates across all demographics. So refreshing your driving skills is not just a useful course of action to take – it could be a lifesaving one. Holding a full driver's licence is, after all, a Life Skill! Refresher driving courses can also be useful for those people that have had accidents behind the wheel previously. When one finds oneself in a car accident, it can be extremely difficult to regain the confidence required to get back out on the road. While all drivers should be very aware and pay attention to the road, no good can come from driving in fear, or from being over-cautious; a refresher course can help to take that fear away for good. Another group of people that can significantly benefit from refreshing their driving skills are mature drivers. Any driver over 50 that took a driving test in their youth may well have a great deal of experience on the road, but the driving test will also have changed since they acquired a license and thus a refresher course can be of huge benefit. Methods of car control have improved considerably - Safe Defensive Techniques and Eco Driving Techniques. Keeping one Safe, the car roadworthy longer, make financial savings, and Environmental Friendly. Are you worried or unsure about taking the plunge and booking yourself on to a refresher course? With Enjoy More Driving School, here are a selection of the skills that you’ll be taught or refreshed on, so you know exactly what is on the agenda for you: the importance of not being distracted on the road (i.e. using a mobile phone, smoking or eating), proper use of engine braking, appropriate use of missing a gear change, the proper use of seatbelts and air bags, the safest ways to change lanes when you are on a motorway, how to make sure you are not put in danger by your blind spots, adverse weather and darkness driving, how to determine good adequate clearance of parked vehicles or other obstructions and how to maintain a safe following distance between cars in front of you. As well as being a fantastic practice to increase your safety on the road, Enjoy More Driving School refresher driving courses come with the additional benefit of reducing your insurance claims and thus your motor insurance costs are reduced in the long term. Taking a refresher course is certainly no reason to purchase inadequate car insurance at the lowest price, because sometimes accidents happen to the most careful and experienced of drivers. You will find that giving a boost to your driving skills will reduce those costs in the longer term. To conclude, a Refresher Driving Course will have the following benefits: boost to one's confidence, boost to one's and loved one's safety, car maintenance savings, car longevity, lower insurance costs through reduced insurance claims. After all it being a Life Skill, Enjoy More Driving For Life!

Top Reasons Why Accidents Occur
So what are the main contributory factors to car accidents? According to a Department for Transport study, Contributory Factors to Road Accidents, 2011, the main causes of accidents are as follows: * Observation - Failure to look properly – 18% * Anticipation - Failure to judge another person's path/speed – 10% * Planning - Being careless, reckless or in a hurry – 9% * Planning - Poor turning/manoeuvring – 8% * Control - Loss of control – 8% * Speed - Going too fast for conditions – 7% * Awareness - Slippery road – 6% * Safe Distance - Following too close – 4% * Planning - Sudden braking – 4% These figures are drawn from accidents where the police attended the scene and a contributory factor was reported. But just looking at the above, it's clear to see that some simple actions can be taken to try and reduce the risk of having an accident. Using: Observation - Anticipation - Planning (OAP) results in better Control and safe Progress. Driving safely If you are on the move and about to make a manoeuvre, make sure that you take the necessary time to look around you before doing so – whether this is taking a turn, overtaking, moving away from a junction or going onto a roundabout. If you are not completely sure that you have time to set off or execute your move then err on the side of caution. Ask yourself the Question: 'As a pedestrian, would I be able to comfortably walk across the road before the approaching hazard reaches me?' It might stop you causing, or being involved in, an accident. Don't rush Exceeding the speed limit actually only accounted for 3% of car accidents, so you need not only make sure that you are driving at the right speed for the conditions; you should try very hard not to become agitated. Slippery roads or questionable road conditions mean you should slow your speed down below the limit and being stressed can cause you to be more reckless than you would normally be. Safe Driving Speed of the road is determined by: Traffic Conditions (moving & stationery), Road Conditions (road surface, junctions, bends), Weather Conditions, Activity (pedestrian, road works), and Visibility (day part). One can only drive at the maximum legal speed of the road once all conditions are good. Keep Your Distance Even on roads where the speed limit is lower than on a dual carriageway or motorway it is possible to misjudge the distance between you and the car in front – so always give yourself a little more breathing space (and therefore braking distance) than you think you need. Using the Two-Second Rule helps to adopt a safer following distance. Also, be aware of traffic behind you and try not to brake sharply as other cars may be too close to you. Be Covered Car insurance is mandatory in the UK and it's important to make sure that you have the right level of cover. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the majority of accidents, whether in the car or out of the car are often down to the same contributory factors. Of course, if a car is involved the potential for physical harm is considerably higher. Who's or What's To Blame? The Culprits! Driving a vehicle represents freedom, excitement, adventure and risk. Unfortunately, this often leads to some of the most common and tragic accidents. There are a number of reasons that a lot of accidents / car crashes occur, leading to significant injuries or the loss of a loved one. By knowing what the most common causes of car accidents are, you're better able to take measures for the protection of your personal well-being and the safety of those you love. Car accidents, whether they involve multi-car collisions or single-vehicle crashes, can be caused by a number of situations. The most common situations include the following: * reckless drivers – these include vehicle operators that swerve between lanes, tailgate, and fail to come to complete stops at red lights and stop signs. * drunk drivers and other drivers under the influence of alcohol or even drugs. * road hazards, including potholes, lack of signage, uneven lanes, and missing guardrails. * inattentive drivers – these are vehicle operators who allow themselves to get distracted, whether by eating while driving, talking on their mobile phones, or singing along to the radio. * bad weather – when a sudden downpour significantly decreases the ability of drivers to see what is ahead it is possible for dangerous situations to easily arise. * vehicle error – from tyre blowouts to a suddenly stalled engine, when mechanical problems occur on the road it is possible that all those near the troubled vehicle will suffer.

Learning to drive with peace of mind from learner driver insurance
For people learning to drive, it often involves a lot of cost. The cost of insurance is one thing that can often be astronomical. Then there are the driving lessons to have to pay for. There is a way that you can get insurance when learning to drive, without your parents, partners, or siblings having to put you on their annual insurance, and this is by taking out cheap temporary car insurance. As well as providing affordable professional driving lessons, Enjoy More Driving School assists its learner drivers to find the most suitable and affordable learner driver insurance. In most cases, learner driver insurance may work out cheaper than an annual insurance policy as you can take it out from one to three months as opposed to a year. What is needed in order to qualify for insurance for learner drivers? Before you can take out insurance for learner drivers there are some criteria that you have to meet. For instance you need to: A) live in the UK B) have a provisional car licence C) have someone over the age of 21 with a full annual car insurance policy at the side of you when you are out driving Along with having to meet the above criteria there may also be some limitations to the insurance cover. For instance, when taking out temporary learner driver insurance you may be limited to the hours that you are able to drive. Typically this is between the hours of six in the morning to 10 at night. After 10pm and up to 6am your insurance would not cover you if you were behind the wheel. Insurance for learner drivers can be taken out to suit your needs Enjoy More Driving School having searched around, made affiliations with numerous insurance companies providing affordable temporary car insurance. Ensuring the learner has one less worry. Cheap temporary car insurance for learner drivers can generally be taken out for a period of one month to three months. Bear in mind that insurance for learner drivers is only for you if you do not own your own vehicle. It would cover you only if you were borrowing someone else’s vehicle to learn to drive. It can be surprising how fast you can learn to drive if you are taking professional lessons and also taking to the road in a parents' car to get private practice. You could even find that you are also able to save money by taking out learner driver insurance and getting plenty of experience with a friend or relative sat supervising you in their car. Cheap temporary car insurance for learner drivers can be taken out to suit your needs. For instance you could take it out for a period of three months and if you find you need more time, apply again. However if you pass your test more quickly than you thought you would, the insurance would terminate and you would be able to claim back any premiums that you had not used, if you meet the terms and conditions. Insurance for learner drivers can save all the hassle of your parents having to get in touch with their insurance provider and have you put on their annual insurance policy. After all the chances of it taking you a full year to learn to drive and pass your test are very slim. Enjoy More Driving School promotes learning to drive with peace of mind; knowing that you have the best value for money driving lessons with a DSA Approved High Grade Driving Instructor coupled with cheap learner driver insurance. The cost of investing in training for a Life Skill doesn't have to be astronomical. Enjoy More Driving ... For Life!

Why Us!? (Taken with Instagram)
Almost half of drivers are overtaking at lethal speeds on single carriageway rural roads with disregard for the consequences, research by Brake and Direct Line has revealed.
Of 942 drivers surveyed, 47% admit speeding at more than 60mph to overtake on country roads at least once in the past year, with 23% confessing doing this at least once a month. Incredibly, one in eight drivers also admit overtaking when they can’t see what is coming in the opposite direction.
The results suggest that drivers continue to feel a false sense of security on rural roads, misguidedly believing that it is safe and enjoyable to drive at high speeds. In reality, drivers are much more likely to die on a rural road than any other type, with speed and overtaking major factors in causing deaths.
In Britain in 2009, 749 deaths occurred on single carriageway roads with a speed limit of 60mph – that’s a third of all road deaths. Almost a third of people killed on single carriageways with a 60mph limit die in crashes where ‘exceeding the speed limit’ and/or ‘travelling too fast for the conditions’ are recorded as a factor by police at the scene. Last year an annual review of UK road risk found that the ten roads with the greatest concentration of fatal and serious crashes per kilometre are single carriageways.
Overtaking at speed is incredibly dangerous and the faster you are travelling the more likely you are to die if you crash head on. Research shows that the risk of the driver dying in a head on collision involving two cars travelling at 60mph is around 90%. Even at 50mph, the risk of death is still a very high 65%, showing that overtaking isn’t worth the risk.
More often than not, carrying out this potentially deadly manoeuvre makes little difference to journey times. If you overtake a car travelling at 40mph, so that you can drive at 50mph on a five-mile journey, you gain a maximum of 90 seconds, but you risk losing the rest of your life or someone else’s.
Brake is calling on the Government to reduce the default speed limit on single carriageway roads to 50mph or lower, with lower limits on roads where there are particular risks. They say they should also continue to improve enforcement of speed limits, such as by using average speed cameras, and conduct widespread awareness campaigns to tackle the problematic culture of speeding and overtaking on rural roads.

Choosing a Driving Instructor [DSA]
If you are paying someone to teach you to drive, they must be approved and registered with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA). Only a registered approved driving instructor (ADI) can charge money for teaching you to drive.
Choosing an ADI
Recent surveys indicate that nine in ten learners who passed both theory and practical tests first time were taught by an instructor. A fully qualified ADI must display a green certificate on the windscreen of the car while teaching you. Some trainee driving instructors are granted a licence so they can gain experience before their qualifying examination. In this case, the trainee driving instructor must display a pink certificate on the windscreen.
DSA is responsible for maintaining and checking the standards of all ADIs, who to qualify must:
have held a full driving licence for at least four years
pass a much tougher theory test than the one learner drivers take
pass a strict driving test
reach and keep up a high standard of instruction - the standard of tuition given by the ADI is regularly checked by a supervising examiner from DSA
be registered with DSA
display an ADI identification certificate on the windscreen of the tuition vehicle
DSA, as a government agency, is not allowed to recommend an instructor. We suggest that you ask friends and relatives to recommend someone they know. You could also look in a local business directory for ADIs in your area and use the Directgov ‘find your nearest driving instructor’ service.
Try and choose an instructor who:
has a good reputation
is reliable and punctual
has a car that suits you
You should take advice from your ADI on: all aspects of driving what books to read when to take your test how to practice.
Reporting illegal driving instruction
It is illegal for a person to provide driving instruction for a fee if they are not suitably qualified and registered with the DSA.
The DSA Fraud and Integrity Team (FIT) thoroughly investigates every case of suspected illegal driving tuition, and works closely with the police to take possible offenders to court. If an offer of paid driving instruction is made to you, by someone who is not a qualified ADI, please report it to the DSA FIT.
You can contact DSA FIT by:
phone on 029 2058 1155 (during office hours)
phone on 029 2058 1290 (out of hours)
sending an email to: [email protected]
All information you provide to the DSA FIT will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Funny car insurance claims!
Here are some incredible, but true statements which all appeared on claim forms submitted to car insurance companies by policyholders who had been involved in car accidents.
Accidents with pedestrians
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.
The pedestrian had no idea which way to run as I ran over him.
The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again.
I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car.
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
I saw her look at me twice. She appeared to be making slow progress when we met on impact.
Car accidents
I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.
The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.
I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.
I was on the way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.
As I approached an intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.
My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle.
I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat found that I had a fractured skull.
The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought.
Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.
I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it.
In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
The gentleman behind me struck me on the backside. He then went to rest in a bush with just his rear end showing.
I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when I struck the front end.
I pulled in to the side of the rode because there was smoke coming from under the hood. I realized there was a fire in the engine, so I took my dog and smothered it with a blanket.
The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle.
Who caused the car accident?
The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
I was going at about 70 or 80 mph when my girlfriend on the pillion reached over and grabbed my testicles so I lost control.
On approach to the traffic lights the car in front suddenly broke.
I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.
The accident happened when the right front door of a car came round the corner without giving a signal.
I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.
