Since restarting lessons on 12th April 21, we are mindful that risks associated with the Covid19 virus are still present and we therefore need to retain some of the ways in which lessons have been conducted since the first lockdown.
Covid lateral flow test kits are now readily available. We advise all pupils to test regularly and cancel their lesson immediately if a positive test result is given, or, there is any suspicion of Covid.
DriveMeCrazy staff test regularly and will cancel all lessons to self isolate for at least 7 days if required.
The DVSA published guidance to the driver training industry after the first lockdown and, as a responsible driver training business, we tried to adhere as much as possible to the guidelines issued by the government at that time. The published guidance is fairly lengthy, so we have highlighted specific parts of the document which we feel were particularly applicable and essential, and may still be relevant today.
Since then all government restrictions have been lifted, however, as we train in an enclosed environment, Drivemecrazy still trys to ensure pupil and staff welfare by retaining some restrictions as stated below.
Some of the changes in operation require a change to the terms and conditions, which all current pupils have signed for. The following statement adds to, or overides some areas of the terms dealing with lesson cancellation and passengers.
Hand sanatizing: We will provide sanitizer for you to use on entry to the vehicle if you require it.
Face Masks : Face masks must be worn if you have any form of respiratory illness.
Face shields: Are no longer required.
Cancellation: The normal 24 hr. notification of cancellation is removed where the reason is due to Covid isolation
Lessons: Parents are now allowed to again accompany pupils on lessons.
We hope that the continuing restrictions will not adversely affect your ability to enjoy your driving lessons - please Press the button below to read the full origional advise.
