\"CartoonA couple of days ago, I updated my article on Driving Tests and Lesson in Snow<\/a> after someone found the blog due to their instructor claiming he wasn\u2019t covered to drive in icy conditions.<\/p>\n

Cancelling lessons because it is dangerous is fine, but I am not aware of any insurance policy which would preclude driving. I didn\u2019t think much of it after I\u2019d updated the article \u2013 but then I came across this story<\/a>. It seems that some moron on Twitter started the rumour, and other morons have picked it up and run with it.<\/p>\n

Police and insurers have assured people that insurance is valid even in the worst weather conditions. Obviously, the same rules apply in bad weather as they do in good weather. Namely, if you drive like a twat and have an accident, your insurance may be affected.<\/p>\n

It is possible that the original reader\u2019s instructor had also seen this story and been suckered by it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
