By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you may not access the Service.
Lessons
Thank you for choosing to learn to drive with JM Driving. I look forward to working with you and helping you to achieve your driving goals. As with all kinds of business, there must be some ground rules to go back to should there ever be a disagreement.
My first advice is, if you have a problem, please tell me. I do not bite and all I want is for you to enjoy the learning experience so much that you tell all your friends.
The following terms and conditions represent the basis upon which driving lessons and courses are offered to you by JM Driving.
Availability
To run my business I can only look after a certain number of pupils at any one time, which means I may have to decline business from new pupils to look after those already on my books.
General Conduct
I will always be courteous, polite, and punctual. I will also behave in a professional and ethical manner at all times. My car will be well maintained, clean, and tidy. It will also be fitted with dual controls and properly insured as a driving instructor’s vehicle. Any claims made against Jon Maye as a result of an accident will be restricted to the terms of the insurance policy which is current at the time of the incident. Details of the policy will be made available on request. My car is a No Smoking area.
Qualifications
I am a qualified Driving & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) approved Driving Instructor and undertook my training with Red Driving School. As part of my role I have a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check and hold an appropriate certificate.
Course Materials
It is the responsibility of the pupil to make sure they consider the materials useful and appropriate.
Driving Licence and Eyesight
The pupil must hold a current, valid driving licence (provisional or full) which must be produced on or in advance of their first lesson. The learner must also check that they can read a number plate at a distance of 20.5 meters (i.e. 67 feet – approximately 5 car lengths) with glasses if normally worn. From June 2015 a driver (learner or licensed) must at the instructor’s request provide the necessary code to allow access to their driving record.
Payments
I do ask that payments must be made in advance of any lessons starting. Payment for discounted block bookings is to be paid in full before lessons start. Payment can be made by Credit Card via the website before the start of the lesson.
Lesson Postponement or Cancellation
A minimum of 48 hours notice of cancellation is required to avoid a lesson fee. If it is not possible to rebook the time set aside for your lesson I do ask that you pay for your lesson. I do reserve the right to postpone lessons if I consider the weather or road conditions are unsuitable or dangerous. I cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred as a result of having to postpone any lessons for whatever reason.
Refunds
If after the first five hours of driving you are not happy with my service, or you are unable to continue with the block purchased, the outstanding balance paid will be refunded to you.
The Driving Test
Bookings – Driving tests should be booked by you after you have checked my availability. Driving test bookings always take priority over other lessons. Therefore, your lesson may be postponed to allow for someone else’s driving test and vice-versa. Changes to lesson bookings as a result of this will be notified immediately. I would ask to be notified immediately if a driving test has been booked as my future lessons will have to be scheduled around it. If sufficient notice is not given the availability of the vehicle for the test cannot be guaranteed.
Use of the vehicle – in the interests of the customer and public safety I reserve the right to withhold the use of the vehicle for the test if, in my opinion, your driving is actually or potentially dangerous.
Test cancellation – the DVSA requires three clear working days notice of cancellation or postponement of your test. Failure to provide the required notice will result in the loss of your test fee. I cannot be held responsible for any postponement or cancellation of tests by you of the DVSA for any reason.
Punctuality
Pupils are advised to be punctual for lesson appointments. I would normally wait for a maximum of 15 minutes before the full lesson would be abandoned and the lesson fee forfeited or become due for payment. A reciprocal waiting time may become necessary if I am delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. Any lesson time lost as a result of this would be made up by me either at the end of the normal lesson time if possible or at a later date.
Learner Comfort and Safety
In the interests of comfort and safety, learners are advised to wear suitable footwear and clothing which does not restrict movement. Learners must also take note of any medication they are taking that may affect their ability to drive safely and inform their instructor accordingly before taking any lesson booked.
Complaints
In the event of a complaint, I will make all efforts to resolve the problem directly. However, please do not let a problem linger, notify me as soon as possible so that a satisfactory solution can be sought.
Your Statutory Rights
These terms and conditions will not reduce your statutory rights relating to faulty or incorrectly described goods or services provided. If you have any doubts about your statutory rights please contact your local Trading Standards Department or Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
