Motor Marque Garage Offers Free Winter Workshop for Female Drivers

Oct. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- With the cold weather drawing in, Mark Frankland, owner of Motor Marque garage in West Park Leeds, has announced the date of his next Motor Smart Women course to educate female drivers on how to handle a vehicle in unpredictable weather and common car problems that can arise during a cold snap.

The next free course is to be held on November 16th, from 6:30pm – 8:30pm at the Motor Marque garage in West Park, and will focus in particular on an issue raised during the last course in September, where many women said they were unsure of what ABS (Antilock Braking System) is, whether or not their car has it and how it works.

As well offering advice for the winter months, the course will also teach basic car maintenance through demonstrations and will enable willing participants to get the chance to tinker with engines, put cars up ramps and to see what life in overalls is really like.

Mark Frankland said: “The last Motor Smart Women Course was a huge success and we've listened to what the attendees concerns were and will address these at the workshop on November 16th.

“After the last couple of years of heavy snow and carnage on the road, many of us are already dreading the first snow flurry, but I hope the course will help to put female drivers at ease and give them more confidence in what to do if they brake down, how to handle the car safely in dangerous driving conditions - with a particular focus on ABS and common reasons for why vehicles can be temperamental in the cold weather.”

Mark will be offering handy winter tips, such as:
How to use ABS
The most effective way to change gear
What to do if your car breaks down
How to handle driving on ice
What to do if the vehicle skids out of control, both front and rear wheel skids
