Driving Lessons During Coronavirus Outbreak
Driving Lessons To Recommence From July 4th 2020
Since the early part of 2020, the whole world has faced the issue of dealing with Covid-19. The effects of the pandemic have been devastating and wide reaching. Our industry, like so many others, has been greatly affected by this ongoing situation.
Driving instructors have now been given permission to resume driving lessons for all members of the public. These lessons can begin from July 4th 2020.
Driving tests and theory tests still remain subject to changes or cancellations by the DVSA.


How will we conduct lessons safely?
The safety of our customers and our instructors remains our top priority. To ensure that lessons are conducted in the safest manner possible, our instructors will be using a range of safety measures which may include:
- Wearing of face masks to minimise airborne particles
- Wearing disposable gloves or making use of hand sanitiser within the vehicle
- Extra time being dedicated between lessons to thoroughly clean the vehicle controls
- Use of digital thermometers before lessons
- Wearing appropriate clothing to minimise skin exposure
- Windows to be kept open to increase ventilation
How can our students help us conduct lessons safely?
We will be asking our students to aid us in maintaining hygiene in the car by asking them to follow safety measures when taking lessons, which may include the following:
- Contacting their instructor if they or anyone in their household has shown symptoms of Covid-19
- Thoroughly washing hands before arriving at lessons
- Using hand sanitiser available in vehicle throughout the lesson
- Wearing clothing which minimises skin exposure to airborne particles
- Request breaks from driving if they need time to exit the vehicle for comfort reasons
- Avoid excessive face to face contact with instructors when discussing driving related matters at the side of the road
- Keeping windows open whilst driving


Will lessons be 100% safe from Covid-19?
Although we can not guarantee 100% that by following these measures we can prevent further spread of the virus within a tuition vehicle, we are confident that this will at least significantly reduce the chances and provide a safer learning environment for everyone.
If anyone is uncomfortable with any of the measures being used, we advise them to speak directly with the school or with their instructor to work out a resolution before commencing lessons.
