​

These Terms and Conditions outline the agreement between Kerry’s Driving School (“the Instructor”) and the Pupil (“the Student”) for the provision of driving tuition. By booking and taking lessons, you agree to the following terms.

​

1.Payment and Bookings

All lessons must be paid at least 48 hours in advance via bank transfer. Payment in advance ensures transparency and accurate accounting records. Lessons are only confirmed once payment has been received.

​

2.Cancellations and Rescheduling

A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule a lesson. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged in full. If the Instructor needs to cancel a lesson (e.g., due to illness, vehicle issues, or unsafe weather conditions), as much notice as possible will be given and an alternative date/time will be arranged.

​

3.Pupil Requirements

Pupils must hold a valid UK provisional driving licence, be fit to drive (not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any medication that may impair driving ability), and be able to read a number plate from 20 metres (with glasses or contact lenses if normally worn).

The Instructor reserves the right to terminate a lesson if the pupil is unfit or unsafe to drive.

The lesson fee will be forfeited in such cases.

​

4.Lesson Conduct

The Instructor reserves the right to refuse or stop a lesson if the pupil behaves in a way that is unsafe, disrespectful, or causes risk to others or property. Pupils are expected to follow instructions and maintain a polite and professional attitude during lessons.

​

5.Vehicle and Insurance

The Instructor’s car is fully insured for driving tuition purposes. The Instructor will ensure the vehicle is roadworthy and maintained to a safe standard.

​

6.Driving Tests

When using the Instructor’s car for a driving test, it will be subject to the Instructor’s approval. Test day fees must be paid in advance and include time for a pre-test warm-up and the test itself. The Instructor reserves the right to withdraw the use of the car for test purposes if the pupil is not at the required standard.

​

7.Refund Policy

Refunds are only available in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Instructor. Prepaid lessons not used within six months may be forfeited. If the Instructor cancels a lesson and cannot offer a suitable replacement, a full refund will be issued for that lesson.

​

8.Weather Cancellations

If lessons or tests are affected by severe weather conditions (e.g., ice, snow, fog), the Instructor will assess whether it is safe to proceed. If cancelled for safety reasons, lessons will be rescheduled at no cost to the pupil. Pupils are encouraged to check with the Instructor on the morning of their lesson if conditions are poor.

​

9.GDPR and Data Protection Policy

Kerry’s Driving School collects and stores only essential personal data (such as name, contact details, and licence information) for lesson management and communication purposes. Data will not be shared with third parties except where required by law. All data is stored securely in accordance with GDPR. Pupils may request access to, correction, or deletion of their data at any time.

​

10.Limitation of Liability

Kerry’s Driving School will not be held responsible for any losses, injury, or damage caused by a pupil’s failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions. While every effort is made to ensure progress, lesson outcomes and test passes cannot be guaranteed.

​

11.Amendments

These Terms and Conditions may be updated from time to time. The latest version will always be available on the website. By booking lessons, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
