Introduction
The following terms and conditions represent the basis upon which I offer driving lessons and courses to you (the student).
I will be courteous, polite, tidy and punctual. I will behave in a professional and ethical manner at all times. My training car will be well maintained, clean and tidy (weather permitting). My car is fitted with dual-controls and is fully insured for driving tuition purposes. I will not smoke in the training car at anytime, nor will I use your lesson time for anyother form of business, personal or otherwise without your expressed permission.
I am legally authorised to give driving tuition in the UK by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). My Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) Approved Driving Instructor (Car) Certificate of Registration will be displayed in the windscreen of the training vehicle.
You must hold a current, valid driving licence (provisional or full), which must be produced on or in advance of your first driving lesson. You must also check that you can read a number plate at a distance of 20.5 meters (i.e. 67 feet – about 5 car lengths) with prescribed visual aids (i.e. contact lenses or glasses) if normally worn. Please note if you need contact lenses or glasses to achieve this you must make sure you wear them on each and every driving lesson.
4a. Safety, Comfort and Well Being
Safety is a shared responsibility as identified below:
In the interests of comfort and safety you are advised to wear suitable footwear and clothing which does not restrict movement or which is inappropriate, distracting or could lead to embarrassing situations.
It is important you act responsibly at all times and give your undivided attention to the driving task at hand. Should anything be distracting you during your lesson it is important that you make me aware of this fact even if it is something I am doing. Similarly if you are feeling uncomfortable or uneasy about any driving task please let me know. I will begrateful for your feedback and I will think no less of you for doing this.
In an emergency situation it is important you follow my instructions and allow me to take control of the steering wheel if necessary to avoid an incident. I may also need to make use of the dual controls (i.e. brake and or clutch pedals) and thus override your use of them. As soon as it is safe to do so I will advise you of why my actions were necessary and help you to calm down if required. Any subsequent discussion will focus on what can be learnt rather than who was to blame.
I will do my best to deliver any instructions or take any actions (even in an emergency) in a calm and measured manner so as not to alarm you or make you feel uncomfortable or disheartened in any way. I will definitely not shout at you or make any sarcastic or derogatory remarks.
You can be assured I will not use improper language or suggestive behaviour and/or physical contact.
You must take note of any medication you are taking which may affect your ability to drive safely and advise me accordingly before taking any lesson booked. Similarly, you should inform me of anything you feel might impact on your ability to undertake the proposed lesson safely.
In the event it becomes apparent you are unable to concentrate due to illness, tiredness, or your emotional state of mind I reserve the right to terminate the lesson early or require your agreement to choose an alternative learning activity which can still be undertaken safely. Whilst driving the tuition vehicle you shall be responsible for any offences andfines. I will provide the driver’s details to law enforcement upon request.
4b. Personal Hygiene
It is important that the training environment is as pleasurable as possible and we can work without distraction. Please ensure that your personal hygiene is to a standard that will not offend. Please arrive for your lesson clean, and wearing clothes that will not leave behind any trace of you, this includes dirty work clothes or clothing covered in pet hairs thatmay mark the seats or leave deposits. I reserve the right to cancel your lesson without refund should you arrive in a state of poor hygiene or in dirty clothing. Any mess or contamination to the training vehicle will incur a valeting charge of £25.00. Should deeper cleaning or repair be needed, you will be charged in full.
To ensure the safety of you and other road users I reserve the right to cancel any lesson if you are or if I suspect you are under the influence of drugs, legal highs and/or alcohol (prescribed or otherwise). If this occurs the full training fee for the period in question will be lost or charged.
You may lose, or be required to pay for, any lessons booked in my diary which are postponed or cancelled by you, especially if I am unable to obtain new replacement work for those appointment time(s). However, I reserve the right to postpone lessons if I consider the weather or road conditions to be unsuitable or dangerous. Or mechanical failiuresrequire me to cancel the lesson. Unfortunately, I cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred as a result of me having to postpone any lessons, for whatever reason.
In your own interests you are advised to be punctual for your lesson appointments. All such appointments should be recorded in your preferred manner to ensure mistakes are avoided.
I would normally wait for you for a maximum of 15 minutes before the lesson would be abandoned and the lesson fee forfeited or become due for payment. A reciprocal waiting time may become necessary if I am delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. I will make up any lesson time lost as a result of this at the end of the normal lesson time or assoon as possible. Any such shortfall should be recorded in your Student Record and initialled by me.
You are required to make payment for the course or the driving lessons in advance of the training. To book a course, a 50% deposit or the full course fee (if the course start date is within 4 weeks of the booking date) is required.
The deposit or any subsequent training fees paid are not refundable in the event you decide to cancel the training once the booking has been accepted by me and placed in my diary. At this point a binding agreement is made between yourself and me. This does not in any way affect your statutory rights to be provided with the goods and services you havebought (please see term 11). Please ensure you have payment with you if paying in cash, trips to cash-points will come out of lesson times. Preferred payment method is bank transfer. Please contact me for information on this.
Driving tests can be booked by you or me on your behalf. Driving test bookings always take priority over other lessons. Therefore, your lesson may be postponed to allow for someone else’s driving test and vice-versa. Changes to lesson bookings as a result of this will be notified immediately. Test appointments must be notified to me as soon as they areknown to you, otherwise I cannot guarantee to provide a vehicle for the test or any lessons just prior to it. Please don’t book a test unless we have discussed your readiness for test. You are responsible for communication with the DVSA if you book the test yourself, and should ensure you check your emails and junk folder for cancellations. I will not beresponsible for missed communication between you and the DVSA.
Use of the vehicle
In the interests of customer and public safety I reserve the right to withhold the use of the training car for the test if, in my opinion, your driving is actually or potentially dangerous – behaviour which if repeated on the test would result in a test failure.
Test Cancellation
Three clear working days (Sundays and public holidays don’t count as working days) notice of test cancellation or postponement is required by the DVSA. Therefore to cancel a test booked for a Friday you need to do this online no later than the preceding Monday thus giving three clear working days (i.e. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Failure toprovide the required notice will result in the loss of your test fee. I cannot be held responsible for any postponement or cancellation of tests by you or the DVSA. However, I will do all that is possible to arrange another test as quickly as possible and to help you to reclaim expenses from the DVSA if appropriate.
