TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. You must be of legal age to drive and produce a valid UK/Northern Ireland provisional Category B driving licence. If a photo card licence is held this must be produced. If an older paper licence is held, then you must also produce a valid passport as photographic identification. For Motorway, Pass Plus or Refresher lessons a full valid licence must be produced with identification as above. You must meet the minimum eye test requirements, which means you must be able to read a standard UK approved number plate at a minimum distance of 20.5 metres (67 feet). If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses in order to meet this requirement then you must wear them whenever you drive. 

2. You must notify your instructor of any change of your ability or entitlement to have driving tuition, for example if your provisional licence has been revoked or for medical reasons such as epilepsy. 

3. If you wish to cancel a lesson, a minimum of 72 hours notice must be given. Failure to give 72 hours notice will result in the lesson(s) having to be paid for. Lessons can only be cancelled by telephone not texts and must be acknowledged by your instructor.  Should a pupil stop or cancel two lessons or two weeks consecutively, their place in the diary will be lost and they will go onto the waiting list. Therefore there is no guarantee of a lesson and if a test is booked the school may not be able to honour the test.  

4. If your instructor turns up  at the pre-arranged pick up point and you do not show your instructor will wait 15 minutes if there is no contact made between you. After 15 minutes they will leave and you will be charged for the lesson. 

5. Your instructor will endeavour to arrive on time however, due to unforeseen circumstances such as breakdown, accidents, traffic hold ups etc, lesson times may need to change or even be cancelled at short notice. If cancelled by your instructor, no fee will be charged.

6. All lessons must be paid for in advance at the time of booking.  All lessons must be paid 72 hours before start of lesson to confirm booking.  Block bookings are non refundable and should be paid by the start of first lesson. Block booking must be completed within 5 weeks per 10 hours.

7. You must not be under the influence of drugs/alcohol during the training. In the event of there being any signs of drugs/alcohol misuse, your instructor will withhold the use of the training vehicle for use of tuition or driving test until you are in a legal and fit state to drive. You will be charged for the lesson. Any prescribed medication that may effect your driving should be declared to the instructor and to the DVLA medical board. The driving school is obliged to report this to whom they see fit. 

8. Should you fail to reach a satisfactory standard of driving and are likely to be a danger to other road users, or are in an unfit condition through substance or alcohol abuse as described above, the ADI has a responsibility to the DVSA examiners not to allow the use of the training vehicle for the purpose of the driving test. This is in the interest of the pupil, the examiner and other road users and is a precautionary safety measure. Driving Vehicle Standards Agency guidelines do not allow for a pupil to take a practical test just for the experience. 

9. No responsibility can be taken for tests cancelled by the DVSA for whatever reason. Lessons will have to be paid for but can be claimed back from the DVSA. The instructor cannot be responsible if you fail because of the eyesight test. Your instructor will be responsible if the test is cancelled due to the condition of the tuition car. Provided that the instructor has not made checks on the car just before the test.

11.  Any tests booked with less than six weeks notice test prices will start from  a minimum of £150.  Prices could incur additional charges depending on notice period due to inconvenience.
