Legal obligations:
All learners must be in possession of a current provisional driving licence (refreshers a full licence) for a category B vehicle and must meet the health and eyesight requirements of form D1 - Application for a Driving Licence.
If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses to read a number plate from the required distance then you will need to wear them at all times whilst driving.
Appointments:
Whilst every care is taken to ensure students receive tuition at the time arranged and in the vehicle booked for them, all appointments are made on the understanding that the school accepts no responsibility for lessons postponed due to mechanical breakdown or other circumstances beyond our control. In this event another appointment will be made as soon as possible. The school has no control over the postponement of driving tests by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency).
Cancellations:
The school reserves the right to charge the full fee for any cancelled lesson unless 48 hours notice is given.
Driving Tests:
The school reserves the right to withhold the school's vehicle for the driving test if, in the instructor's opinion, the student does not reach required standard, or is not in a fit state to drive on the day. The test fee paid to the DSA will be forfeited if less than 3 clear working days notice is given.
Insurance and personal property:
Fees include comprehensive insurance cover whilst driving the school's car under tuition by a DSA approved instructor. Whilst every endeavour is made to safeguard personal property the school accepts no responsibility for cash, clothing or any other personal items left in the car.
Payment:
This is due at the start of each lesson and is not permitted to fall into arrears. Cheque must be made payable to Colin Atkinson and accompanied by a valid banker's card.
