Autumn brings more than falling leaves, it brings wetter roads too. 🍂🌧️

Wet weather reduces visibility, increases stopping distances and can catch even experienced drivers out, so it's worth taking a moment to make sure you're prepared.

Before you set off, check your windscreen wipers are working properly and make sure your tyres have adequate tread.

When you're on the road, remember that stopping distances are at least double those needed on dry roads, so keep well back from the vehicle in front.

Before heading out on your journey, remember to check your tyre tread, pressure and condition, and that your lights are working.

You press the brake pedal. Your tyres have to do the rest.

They provide the vital contact with the road that allows your vehicle to brake, which makes their condition particularly important as October brings wetter roads.

Check them regularly and don’t wait until you need to stop suddenly to find out they weren’t ready for the job.

❗ATTENTION ALL LEARNERS ❗

From 1 October ( This Thursday ), the process for how learner drivers can swap their driving test is changing ✅️

The change will remove the need for learners to coordinate their availability and will make the process smoother and less stressful🤞♻️

What's changing:

To request a swap, the first learner driver will still need to call DVSA.

The second learner will then need to call DVSA on the same working day to confirm they're happy with the swap.

The swap can only process the swap if both learners call DVSA on the same working day.

Previously, both learners needed to be available at the same time to make the swap.

Please share to make sure all pupils are aware of this change.

From the DVSA.
