1. You must be 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 all other driving related 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of any change of your ability or entitlement to have driving tuition, for example your provisional licence has been revoked or for medical reasons such as epilepsy.
3. Due to unprecedented demand for lessons we require a non-qrefundable deposit when booking the first lesson, of the price of a two hour lesson at the current rate. This will be deducted from the first lesson.
4. 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 in full. Lessons can be cancelled by telephone or text message but MUST be acknowledged by your Instructor.
5. If your Instructor turns up on time at the pre-arranged pick up point and you do not show, your Instructor will wait 10 minutes, if there is no contact made between you and the Instructor, they will leave and you will have to pay for the lesson.
6. 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. If cancelled by your Instructor, no fee will be charged.
7. Lessons must be paid for in advance or at the time of the lesson by cash or bank transfer. Your instructor will advise you the bank details.
8. 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, Supreme will withhold the use of the training vehicle for use of tuition or driving test until the pupil is in a legal and fit state to drive. Any prescribed medication that may effect your driving should be declared to Supreme and to the DVLA medical board.
Should the pupil fail to reach a satisfactory standard of driving and is likely to be a danger to other road users, or is 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. DVSA guidelines do not allow for a pupil to take a practical test just for the experience.
9. Check you’re ready to pass:
You’ll usually be ready to take your driving test when:
You do not need prompts from your driving instructor
You need to be dealing with every part of driving consistently, confidently and independently – without any prompting from your driving instructor.
You’ll be ready for your test when you’re able to adapt to situations and see why perfecting your skills makes you safer and more fuel-efficient.
You do not make serious or dangerous mistakes when you’re driving
You need to be a good and safe driver to pass the driving test.
If you’re making serious or dangerous mistakes during your driving lessons and brushing them off as ‘silly mistakes’, you’re not ready to pass your driving test and drive on your own.
You can pass mock driving tests
Taking and passing mock driving tests with your driving instructor will help you understand if you’ve reached the standard that’s needed to pass.
You have practised ways of managing your nerves
It’s really important to be able to manage your nerves to be a safe driver.
Practise ways of managing your nerves to help you stay calm and focused when you take your test. This will help you in the vital months after you’ve passed your test, too.
Your driving instructor agrees you’re ready
If your driving instructor says you’re not ready to take your driving test, listen to them. Driving instructors are specially trained road safety experts. They’ve got lots of driving experience – and they know what it takes to pass the driving test. Remember, they want you to be a safe driver, keep your insurance costs low, and enjoy driving for years to come.
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to all these points, that’s great news. We wish you success on the day of your test.
If you answered ‘no’ to some of the points, it’s time to move your test back to a later date. This will give you vital extra time to prepare and discuss with your instructor what key skills you need to be working on. We know it can be tempting to think about “just giving it a go”. But you could end up being unsuccessful, damaging your confidence, and then having to pay for another test – plus delay yourself getting on the road. Please also bear in mind, as professional Instructors we have to put our name and reputation to every pupil we take for a test. If we are seen taking someone who isn’t at a safe standard we can be told to take a ‘Standards Check’. This has implications on our instructors licence.
10. If you are unsuccessful on your driving test you will be required to take a minimum of 4 hours extra training to make sure you have kept up your skills before your next attempt.
11. 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 the eyesight test. Your Instructor will be responsible if the test is cancelled due to the condition of the tuition vehicle.
12. No responsibility can be taken by the driving instructor if you break any driving laws while accompanied by your instructor. All fines and points are your responsibility.
