If your instructor is unavailable for any reason the instructor has the right to arrange for another instructor to provide some or all of your on road training. If your instructor cannot arrange for an alternative instructor to take your driving lessons, or in the event of a mechanical breakdown of the vehicle in which you have been learning to drive, or for any other reason, the instructor reserves the right to rearrange a driving lesson to a time convenient to both you and the instructor.

If you are taking on road lessons or off road courses, your instructor will carry the appropriate motor insurance should you cause an accident as a learner whilst driving the instructors tuition vehicle, whether you are accompanied by an instructor or driving standards agency examiner.

You must pay for each lesson in advance. At least two working days must be given in the event of cancelling a course or lesson. Late cancellations will be charged at the current course or lesson rate as appropriate. It is recommended that the first lesson be of a two-hour duration.

Instructors will advise pupils when to apply for their theory and practical tests taking into account local waiting times and progress of pupils. In the event of the instructor’s decision to withhold the use of the tuition vehicle for the practical test, sufficient notice will be given to the pupil to avoid loss of the DVSA test fee.

Any complaints by pupils should be made in first to the driving instructor. Failing agreement or settlement of a dispute, reference may be made to DSA Register of Approved driving instructors who will consider the matter and advise accordingly. Should the register not be able to settle the dispute he or she may set up a panel, with the representatives from the ADI industry, to consider the matter further or advise that the matter should be referred to the courts or other statutory body to be determined.
