Idaho State Police Offer Winter Driving Safety Class

Idaho State Police Offer Winter Driving Safety Class

Perhaps your winter driving skills are not up to par. One popular test for vehicles is the moose (or elk) test. It’s just how your vehicle acts when you evade a suddenly appearing obstacle. Add snow to that formula.

Idaho State Police are holding a Road Safety Class for the winter season next week. It’s a classroom-based course that educates drivers the typical problems associated with winter road conditions in Idaho. It's being held at the District Office, located at 615 W. Wilbur Ave. in Coeur d'Alene. 

Event Details: The class is on Saturday, November 19th, at 9 a.m. It’s a three-hour course at no cost. Class size is limited to 60 people. To sign up, call (208) 209-8620.
