CPD VIDEO

Winter weather catches out even experienced drivers. Snow, ice, heavy rain and poor visibility all increase the risk on UK roads, especially for pest professionals who spend long days travelling between jobs.

Al Richardson from Logistics UK shares practical, real-world advice to help pest controllers stay safe when driving in adverse conditions.

• Why winter weather leads to more accidents than many drivers expect
• The first question every driver should ask before setting off
• What the Highway Code actually says about visibility and clearing your vehicle
• Gears, braking and spacing tips that make a real difference in poor conditions
• What to include in a winter driving essentials kit
• Employer pressure, red weather warnings and understanding your responsibilities.

This session is a useful refresher for anyone driving for work and focuses on simple steps that can help you get to work and back home safely.
