Can anyone recommend any winter driving schools near Boston?
 
I know of the NAAClub one in NH

<a href="http://www.naaclub.org/article/80/winter-driving-school-registration-is-open">http://www.naaclub.org/article/80/winter-driving-school-registration-is-open</a>

but I'd prefer not to have to travel that far, especially in mid-winter.

Cheers
Rory

You need to go that far north to find a reliable surface.
 
Both NAAC and NEQ will have driving schools in that area.

lol @ the irony of not wanting to drive far in mid-winter to get to winter driving school
 
just sayin, lol.

Possibly. It struck me that having it at a resort was a way of attracting people to go.
 
Boston gets lots of snow and regular sub-freezing weather in winter. I wondered if there was somewhere closer.

Thanks for the tips
Rory

What is the price to join the NAAC winter driving school?

JimmyC83 11-21-2008 06:13 AM

isn't that the date from last year?

a couple years ago, it was a challenge to find snow that far north. you know not of which you speak.

The problem is that Boston doesn't reliably maintain ground cover for very long
 
and given the time required to plan a winter school, you can't know that on day X there will be adequate snow cover at location Y.

I will tell you, it's worth the drive up to NH :-)

It's not held at a Resort. That is just a lodging option. There is cheaper lodging available.

I know it's a nice neck of the woods up there and would be a good weekend.
 
It's just that it doesn't work for me (young family + job). If there's nothing closer then no problems, I'll wait until there is. :)

PS I agree that you can't rely upon there being fresh snow around Boston in Jan/Feb, but almost certainly there'd be snow/ice on a road if it was unploughed and unsalted. That's the state of small roads near me, at least.
