In this episode, we talk winter driving! Although it may still be early fall, the bitter cold, icy conditions, and snow are headed our way once again, and we will need to adjust our driving habits accordingly.
AMTA's Kelsey Hipkin chats with a familiar voice you may recognize from the beginning of each episode, AMTA’s Rob Destree, Senior Instructor, Driver Development, to dive deeper into the approaching winter driving season.
