The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and the Idaho State Police (ISP) will offer a free winter driving safety class in Lewiston on Saturday, December 13. The event aims to help drivers prepare for hazardous road conditions during the colder months.
The class will cover topics such as preparing vehicles for winter, using proper equipment, defensive driving strategies, and how to safely share the road with snowplows. Instructors include state troopers and ITD operators who have experience working on Idaho’s roads and responding to emergencies during severe weather.
Organizers say the session is open to all drivers but may be especially helpful for young or new drivers, as well as those new to Idaho winters. The class is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the ITD District 2 Office in Lewiston.
“These classes are designed to help drivers prepare for Idaho’s winter conditions by covering topics like vehicle readiness, proper equipment, defensive driving techniques, and how to safely share the road with snowplows,” according to organizers.
Registration is required due to limited seating. Additional sessions may be planned if there is enough interest. More information can be found on ITD’s Travel page.
