I, John Nicholson, am the proprietor and representative of John Nicholson Driving School. All communication must be made prior to the start of each working day at 8 am.

Be fit to drive!

Prescribed drugs may have an impact on your ability to drive therefore i must be informed. You must hold a current and valid driving licence which must be produced on your first driving lesson, and at regular intervals throughout your training. Any changes to your driving licence due to medical conditions or driving convictions must be communicated to me immediately. Please ensure that you present yourself in suitable clothing,  and convenient footwear. It is also important to attend lessons with any appropriate glasses or contact lenses for reasons of road safety. If I think you are unfit to drive for failing to meet any of these conditions, the lesson will be cancelled and you will be charged. It is your responsibility to ensure you are fit to drive I cannot accept responsibility for any injury, loss or damage arising from a driving lesson, if I do deem you unfit to drive for any reason, the lesson will be cancelled immediately and will still be charged.

Lesson payments

Payments for single lessons are to be made at the beginning of each lesson in car, unless it is a block booking which a bank transfer if the 2-hour slots are available for block bookings in the diary at the time of enquiry. Cheques are not accepted for driving lessons. Block bookings must be paid for prior to the first lesson of that block. Refunds will not be given at any time for block bookings, however, hours paid for in advance will be available for a 12-week period from payment received. This is a special term imposed for anyone suffering a serious injury I.e broken bone or anything which will prevent you from driving for several weeks giving you sufficient time to recover. Any longer than 12 weeks with no tuition and the funds will be forfeited. Any crash course which would consist of 6 or more hours booked in in 1 week would require a minimum 1-week notice otherwise you will be charged due to the difficulty of replacing such hours in a short period unless it was as a result of a broken bone which I then hold lessons valid for up too 12 weeks as a recovery period, any refunds given will incur a £30 admin fee. Refunds for any other reason will not be given. In the unlikely event a lesson payment is requested more than two times via text, John Nicholson Driving School will on the 3rd request do this by an invoice which will be posted out and will incur a £50 administration fee charge per email/letter request sent out

All lessons offered must be confirmed via text or the lesson. If the lesson is not confirmed you will be notified of cancellation and the lesson slot will be filled, this is to prevent wasted lesson slots. This is to prevent wasted lesson slots and cancellations, for example, someone saying they didn’t recieve a text. 

 Cancellation

48 hours (2 days) notice is required to cancel any driving lesson. If less than 48 hours (2 days) notice is given, the full lesson fee must be paid. I do however waive this charge if you provide a letter from a doctor for sickness due to physical injury i.e. broken bone. If you suspend taking your driving lessons within a block of pre paid lessons for 12 weeks or more, then any remaining lessons will be forfeited. Any crash course which would consist of 6 or more hours booked in 1 week would require minimum 1 weeks notice otherwise they will be charged due to the difficulty of replacing such hours in a short period unless it was as a result of a broken bone which i then hold lessons valid for up too 12 weeks as a recovery period. Refunds will also not be given on these at any time.
