Our New Normal - How Covid-19 will change our Driving Lessons

Before we start/re-start our Driving lessons, there's a few things we need to talk about first. I'll be sending you a copy of my updated Terms & Conditions separately. Please make sure that you've read and electronically signed them. Below is a brief summary of how things have changed and what we will be doing for the foreseeable future. While I don't want to worry you, it's important that we both take all the necessary sensible precautions to ensure the safety of you, me and our families.

To begin with, please take a few minutes to complete the Health Risk Assessment below well before our first lesson.

• Washing Your Hands - Just before leaving the house for your lesson, please wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water.
• Cleaning The Car - I will be cleaning the care thoroughly at the end of each day, and wiping down all touch points both inside and outside the care in between each lesson with anti bacterial spray and/or wipes.

During The Lesson

• We will both need to wear a face covering. if you have your own, you are welcome to use it but you must put it on before entering the car. If you do not have one, I will have a supply of disposable face masks for your use. Face Shields are not safe for use while driving.
• You may wear gloves if you wish but you will need to bring your own. I will not be wearing gloves.
• We will both use the hand sanitiser provided as soon as you enter the car, and at the end of the lesson just before you leave the car. We will also use it if at any point we touch the same point in the vehicle, come into contact with each other or sneeze or cough while in the car.
• Please try to avoid touching your face during the lesson.
• We will have the car windows open as much as possible to help with ventilation.

After The Lesson

• Wash Your Hands as soon as you get in the house.
• ​Cleaning The Car - I will be taking time to clean the car again ready for the next lesson.
• If you develop COVID 19 symptoms within the next 2 days after the lesson, please let me know as soon as you can.
