General Terms and Conditions
Each lesson lasts for one hour, this may include a short period of time to cover some of the theoretical aspects of driving or necessary administrative tasks.
Please bring both parts of your driving licence with you to your first lesson, your instructor will need to examine it before you are allowed to drive our vehicles. If you have passed your theory test, please bring your pass certificate along as well.
Your driving instructor will ask you to read the number plate on a stationary vehicle. The distance requirement for the old-style number plate is 20.5 metres. The distance requirement for the eyesight test with the new-style number plate is 20 metres. New-style number plates were introduced on 1 September 2001 and are easily identifiable because they start with two letters ie AB51 ABC.
If you need glasses or contact lenses to meet eyesight requirements you must make sure you wear them every time you drive.
If you cannot read the number plate correctly you will not be allowed to proceed with your driving lessons until your eyesight has been checked by an optician and glasses or contact lenses obtained.
