affected by&nbsp;the adverse weather conditions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we can\u2019t speak for other driving schools, when it comes down to driving&nbsp;<a href=\/learners\/lessons\/>lessons<\/a>&nbsp;with RED Driving School our instructors will give you as much notice as possible if the conditions are bad enough to prevent a lesson going ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes this can be a tough call, as while safety is of course paramount, adverse conditions are also an opportunity to get some experience and confidence for when you\u2019re driving on your own.&nbsp; Ultimately, your instructor will carefully consider the situation and If the driving lesson is cancelled, you\u2019re instructor will re-schedule and you will not be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a driving test upcoming then you\u2019re probably praying more than most that we don\u2019t see any more snow anytime soon.&nbsp; If the snow does start to fall then check out the Direct Gov website link which has all the information you might in case of your practical test being called off:&nbsp;<a href=https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Find out more here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course your RED Driving Instructor will be fully informed of procedure should conditions affect tests but it doesn\u2019t hurt to bring yourself up to speed as well.&nbsp; If your test is re-scheduled, The DSA will rearrange your test at no further cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always we wish our learner drivers who have practical tests upcoming the best of luck, although we\u2019re sure you won\u2019t need it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britain is braced for
