Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the website drivesafedrivingschool.uk and the driving tuition services provided by Drive Safe Driving School (“we”, “us”, “our”). By using this website or booking driving lessons with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the website or our services.

1. About us

Drive Safe Driving School is a driving school based in Hounslow, providing driving tuition in Hounslow and surrounding areas. You can contact us using the details on our Contact page.

2. Lessons and bookings

2.1 All driving lessons are subject to availability and are provided by our fully qualified owner‑instructors.

2.2 Lesson bookings may be made by phone, email or contact form. A booking is not confirmed until we have agreed the date and time with you.

2.3 It is your responsibility to ensure you are legally entitled to drive in the UK and hold a valid provisional or full driving licence before commencing lessons.

2.4 You must bring your driving licence to your first lesson and when requested by your instructor. Failure to do so may result in the lesson being cancelled and the full fee being charged.

3. Payments and prices

3.1 Lesson prices are as advertised on our website or as agreed with you at the time of booking.

3.2 We reserve the right to change lesson prices at any time, but any change will not affect lessons already paid for in advance.

3.3 Payment is normally required in advance or at the start of the lesson, unless otherwise agreed. We may accept cash, bank transfer or other methods as agreed.

3.4 Block bookings and special offers must be paid for in advance and are non‑transferable. Any discounts apply only to the specified number of lessons and are subject to any offer conditions stated at the time of booking.

4. Cancellations and lateness

4.1 If you need to cancel or rearrange a lesson, you must give us at least 24 hours’ notice (or any longer period specified by your instructor).

4.2 If you cancel with less than the required notice, or do not attend a scheduled lesson, the full lesson fee may be charged.

4.3 If your instructor is delayed for reasons beyond their control (such as traffic or accidents), they will try to contact you as soon as possible. Where reasonable, the lost time will be added to a future lesson or the lesson re‑arranged.

4.4 We reserve the right to cancel or terminate a lesson if we believe you are unfit to drive (for example due to alcohol, drugs, illness or failing to bring your licence). In such cases, the full lesson fee may still be charged.

5. Your responsibilities

5.1 You must ensure that you are fit to drive at all times and comply with any conditions of your driving licence.

5.2 You must inform us of any medical condition, disability, eyesight issue or other factor that may affect your ability to drive safely.

5.3 You must behave in a safe, respectful manner during lessons and follow all reasonable instructions given by your instructor.

5.4 You are responsible for any fines, penalties or endorsements you incur as a result of your driving during lessons or tests.

6. Instructor responsibilities and insurance

6.1 Your instructor will provide a properly maintained, roadworthy vehicle that is fully insured for driving tuition and, where applicable, for use on the driving test.

6.2 Your instructor will use their professional skill and judgement to prepare you for your driving test and to help you become a safe and responsible driver. However, they cannot guarantee that you will pass your test.

6.3 We will not be liable for any loss, damage or injury arising from a driving lesson or test unless caused by our negligence or breach of legal duty.

7. Driving tests

7.1 Your instructor will advise you when they feel you are ready to take the practical driving test. The final decision to take the test is yours.

7.2 It is your responsibility to book and pay for the theory and practical driving tests with the DVSA, unless we agree to assist or do this on your behalf.

7.3 Use of the instructor’s car for the driving test is at the instructor’s discretion. If they believe you are not test‑ready or not safe to drive, they may refuse use of the car for the test.

7.4 We are not responsible for any costs or losses arising from DVSA test cancellations, changes or examiner decisions.
