Winter in east Idaho means more than just tossing on a hoodie. The Idaho Transportation Department and Idaho State Police are teaming up to provide FREE, informative and engaging winter driving safety classes as the region prepares for icy roads and adverse weather conditions.
Courses will be taught by ISP Troopers and ITD Operators, covering a wide range of topics from proper vehicle preparation, how to handle different road conditions, what to do in a crash, and snowplow safety.
Who should attend?
While these courses are beneficial for drivers of all ages and skill levels, they are especially geared toward young drivers and anyone new to the area who may be preparing for their first winter driving season. Current teen drivers, or those from ages 14-17 who will be starting their driver's education course within the next year are encouraged to attend.
Les Schwab is an industry leader in vehicle service, maintenance and safety. They have partnered with ITD and ISP over the past several years to sponsor these classes for the community.
Participants who attend the course will be eligible for a 10% discount on new snow tires at Eastern Idaho Les Schwab Tire Center locations. *limitations may apply
