Purple Driving - Terms of Business 2019
Agreement of Terms and Conditions.
I will ask
you to agree to and sign a copy of these terms and conditions. By signing this,
you also confirm that there are no physical or other disabilities or
impediments that might affect your ability to drive, and that no medication
(prescribed or otherwise), is being taken which may impair or affect your
ability to drive or that such information has been disclosed to the DVLA and
me, your instructor. If you have any such issues I may require further
information from you in order to ensure that training may safely take place. If
you are 17 years old, I will need your parent/s to also sign.
Lessons must
be paid for in advance or at the time of the lesson by cash or directly into my
bank. Driving lessons are charged at £33 per hour. Paying upfront for a block
of 10 hours is charged at £325.00
On the day
of your driving test, you will be charged for 2 hours, which is £66.00. I will
meet you an hour before your test, and will take you home after your test if
you live in the Bognor Regis or Chichester area. If you live outside this area,
I will drop you off at a prearranged place of your choosing.
When we first meet, I will check
that,
You are of
legal age to drive and produce a valid UK/Northern Ireland provisional Category
B driving licence. If an older paper licence is held, then you must also
produce a valid passport as photographic identification. For Pass Plus or
Refresher lessons a full valid licence must be produced with identification as
above.
You 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. I may check your eyesight at any time
throughout your training.
Please
notify me 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for example if your provisional licence has been revoked or for medical reasons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.
Throughout your training
I will make
a record of a client’s progress, which will include the number of lessons
provided, and I will ensure that the client is aware of their progress and
future training requirement to achieve their driving goals. This will be
discussed at regular intervals throughout your training. I will be happy to
discuss your training with a third party (parents or different driving instructor)
only at your request.
If I turn up
on time at the pre-arranged pick up point and you do not show I will wait 10
minutes if there is no contact made between you. After 10 minutes I will leave
and you will have to pay for the lesson.
You must not
be under the influence of drugs/alcohol during your training. In the event of
there being any signs of drugs/alcohol misuse, I 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. Any medical condition (Diabetes, heart condition, blood
pressure irregularities, depression, etc), or prescribed medication that may affect
your driving should be declared to the instructor and to the DVLA medical
board.
Please
inform me if you have, or have been affected by any of the following; Dyslexia,
dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Aspergers, or are on the autistic spectrum, as this
will assist me in ensuring I can help you to learn to drive in the best way
possible.
Your driving test
I will discuss
with and advise a client when to apply for their driving tests, taking account
of DVSA’s cancellation rules, local waiting times and the instructor’s forecast
of a client’s potential for achieving the driving test pass standard.
I will ensure
that when presenting a client for the practical driving test that you have all
the necessary documentation to enable the client to take the test. I will also
ensure that the vehicle complies with all aspects of motoring law, displays the
instructor’s certificate or licence correctly and is fitted with an extra
interior rear-view mirror and correctly positioned L plate. I am also happy to accompany
the client on their practical driving test and listen to the debrief, when
requested to do so by the client.
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 and Vehicles Standards Agency
guidelines do not allow for a pupil to take a practical test just for the
experience.
In the event
of the instructor deciding to withhold the use of the school car for the driving
test, sufficient notice will be given to the client to avoid loss of the DVSA
test fee.
Any damage
caused by you to my vehicle during your driving test must be paid for in full
by you following an estimate given by Dukes Motors, Middleton on Sea, West
Sussex.
http://www.dukes-motors.co.uk/
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 DSA.
I will not be held responsible if you fail because of the eyesight test. I will
be responsible if the test is cancelled due to the condition of the tuition
vehicle, and will pay for your next test.
Cancellations and Refund Policy.
If you wish
to cancel a lesson, a minimum of 48 hours’ notice must be given. Failure to
give 48 hours’ notice will the result in the lesson(s) having to be paid for.
Lessons can be cancelled by telephone or text message but must be acknowledged
by me.
If I turn up
on time at the pre-arranged pick up point and you do not show I will wait 10
minutes. If there is no contact from you after these 10 minutes I will leave
and you will have to pay for the lesson.
I will
endeavour to arrive on time however, due to unforeseen circumstances such as
breakdown, accidents, and traffic hold ups etc, lesson times may need to change
or even be cancelled. If cancelled by me, no fee will be charged.
If I have to
cancel your driving lesson for whatever reason, without giving you 48 hours’
notice, then I will ether reschedule a
free lesson of the same duration, or refund you the cost of your lesson.
Money paid up front for block bookings will be refunded in full.

Any
complaints must be made to me, Helen Adams, by post at the registered business
address, or via the email address which can be found on the front page of the
website. You will be required to give your full name, and contact details. I
