Last minute changes;

Pick up's/drop off's are assumed as from the pupils normal collection/drop off points as agreed.

Last minute changes affecting other lessons may be refused or where possible to accommodate, will be deducted from the pupils own lesson time. It is not possible, and unfair to knock onto other pupil’s lesson appointments.

Driving tests - Acceptance:
Tests will only be accepted after a risk assessment drive has been taken and a minimum of two mock test passes achieved on different test routes, the pupil must demonstrate they have reached/maintained a safe test standard and can drive responsibly, without the help and guidance of the Instructor.

Pupils who are waiting for tests
The practice of sitting out of lessons while waiting for a test date is unacceptable with this driving school. The school will not hold lessons/test availability open for absent pupils.

If you have failed a previous test, then obviously remedial work is needed and practice hours required.

Candidates are reminded that it is their responsibility to reach and maintain a safe test standard.

While this driving school encourages its pupils to do some private practice, it also confirms that private practice be in addition to driving school lessons not instead of driving school lessons!

Pre-test Vehicle Checks - It is the responsibility of the pupils to check lights, tyres, etc and report any vehicle damage and before the test. Once your safety check has been done, you must accept full responsibility for the car, this means that the driving school will not accept any charges for careless vehicle, damages or fines and cannot offer any test refunds for breakdowns and car failure after your check.

Vehicle Breakdowns : despite the best servicing and maintenance, cars do occasionally let us down. If this happens immediately before a test, it's a problem that often has no resolution other than test cancellation. It is not the fault of the Instructor or pupil, it deemed as both unfortunate and unlucky. Charges for a new test will be therefore be a 50/50% cost Instructor/pupil.

It is the pupils responsibility to read and fully understand the above terms and conditions, the driving school unfortunately cannot offer lessons to anyone without their signed acceptance of our terms and conditions on your progress record.
