This is one of a series of Winter Readiness courses offered to enhance driver skills around driving during hazardous weather conditions. This 60-90 minute course will help drivers gain important safety knowledge about how to respond to loss of traction in snowy and icy weather, and how to install and use vehicle traction devices. This course is a part of the Ride 2 Care: Winter Weather Readiness Incentive Program.
Classroom topics:
- Winter weather driving tips
- Driving in snow
- Driving on ice
- Oregon Chain Law
- Traction device basics
Practical training:
- This training will happen in Ride Connection's parking lot and will be hands-on. Warm clothing and gloves are recommened. Kneeling on pavement will be part of the training. If you have trouble kneeling on hard surfaces, we recommend bringing something soft to kneel on (like a kneeling pad or knee pads).
