Summer is a time when many of us are out on the roads more often – and when both risk and cost tend to increase. 

Longer days, warmer weather and more journeys bring greater freedom – but also new challenges. Traffic levels increase, road conditions change, and there are more vulnerable road users to be aware of.

At the same time, rising fuel costs are leading many drivers to ask how they can drive more efficiently, without compromising safety.

In this practical and supportive webinar, we will share simple, real-world advice to help you:

  • Anticipate seasonal hazards and drive more safely on busy summer roads
  • Understand how to safely approach and pass horse riders
  • Use smoother driving techniques to improve fuel efficiency
  • Prepare your vehicle for summer conditions
  • Plan journeys that reduce stress and cost
  • Feel more confident and relaxed behind the wheel

We aim to help you make small, practical changes that can make a real difference to your safety, your confidence, and your driving costs.

Feedback from recent webinars shows the impact of these sessions:

  • 100% of attendees in our cyclists session found it quite or extremely useful
  • 98% said the same for our motorcyclist-focused webinar

We look forward to welcoming both new and returning attendees.

This free one-hour community webinar is open to anyone who wants to feel safer, more confident, and more in control when driving this summer.
