Driving lessons

Road to Pass Driving School provides manual driving tuition. Lessons are tailored to the pupil's experience, ability and progress.

Other types of tuition or services may be available. Where a price is not advertised on the website, the price will be agreed with you before the booking is confirmed.

Prices may change from time to time. Any change affecting an existing booking will be communicated in advance.

Payment

Payment arrangements will be agreed when lessons are booked. Lessons must be paid for in accordance with the agreed payment arrangements.

Where lessons or blocks of tuition are paid for in advance, any unused lesson credit remains subject to these Terms & Conditions.

Cancelling or rearranging a lesson

Please provide at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a lesson.

Where less than 48 hours' notice is given, the lesson may be charged at the normal lesson rate.

No charge will normally be made where Road to Pass Driving School has to cancel or rearrange a lesson. Where appropriate, the lesson will be rearranged for another mutually convenient time.

Reasonable consideration may be given to exceptional circumstances.

Pupil responsibilities

You must hold a valid UK provisional or full driving licence appropriate for the tuition being undertaken and comply with any legal requirements relating to learning to drive.

You must tell your instructor about anything that could affect your ability to drive safely.

You must not attend a lesson while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including medication that makes you unfit to drive.

The instructor may refuse to begin or continue a lesson if they believe it would be unsafe or unlawful to do so. The lesson may still be chargeable where this results from circumstances within the pupil's control.

Eyesight

You must meet the legal minimum eyesight standard for driving. Your instructor may ask you to demonstrate that you meet the required standard.

If you cannot meet the legal eyesight requirement, the lesson cannot continue.

Driving tests

Booking a practical driving test does not guarantee that the instructor's tuition vehicle will be available for the test.

The instructor will discuss your progress with you and advise you on your readiness for the practical driving test.

Road to Pass Driving School reserves the right to refuse use of the tuition vehicle for a driving test where the instructor reasonably considers that:

• The pupil is not at an appropriate standard to take the test safely.
• Use of the vehicle would present an unacceptable safety risk.
• The pupil has not demonstrated adequate control or judgement.
• The test booking has not been agreed with the instructor.
• Circumstances make use of the vehicle impractical or unsafe.

Where possible, concerns about test readiness will be discussed with the pupil in advance.

The tuition vehicle

The tuition vehicle will be maintained appropriately for driving tuition.

Pupils are expected to treat the vehicle with reasonable care and follow the instructor's directions where necessary for safety.

The instructor may intervene verbally or physically where necessary to maintain safety.

Lesson times

Every reasonable effort will be made to begin and finish lessons at the agreed time.

Occasionally, circumstances such as traffic, weather, road closures or an incident during a previous lesson may cause a delay. Where practical, you will be informed.

Progress and results

Every pupil learns at a different rate. Road to Pass Driving School cannot guarantee that a pupil will reach test standard within a particular number of lessons or that they will pass a driving test.

Advice about progress and test readiness will be based on the instructor's professional judgement.

Refunds and unused lesson credit

Where tuition has been paid for in advance and you decide to stop lessons, please contact Road to Pass Driving School to discuss any unused lesson credit.

Any refund due will take account of lessons already provided and any amounts properly chargeable under the cancellation terms above.

Conduct

Road to Pass Driving School aims to provide tuition in a professional, respectful and supportive environment.

Abusive, threatening, discriminatory or otherwise unacceptable behaviour may result in tuition being ended.

The instructor also reserves the right to discontinue tuition where the working relationship has broken down to the extent that continuing lessons would no longer be appropriate.
