5 REASONS..... why we won't give you our cars for your Test Day at the last minute ✋️❌️
Now, this isn't being rude or doubting that you can drive! 🤔
These reasons are genuinely why we can't just hand over our keys 🔑
1. Unknown Driving Ability:
It may sound harsh, but if we don't know you or your driving style, we simply can't guarantee you are test-ready or will be safe in a few days or even a week!
2. Our Cars Are Our Livelihood:
Our vehicles are how we pay bills and support our families 👪. If an unknown driver crashes on test, what happens then ? Our business would suffer💥
3. Duty of Care:
We owe a duty of care to you, the examiner and the public to keep everyone SAFE. We can't let anyone " just have a go " at the test.
4. Commitment to Current Students:
What about our regular pupils with tests coming up? How would they feel? It wouldn't be fair to cancel their scheduled lessons for someone we don't know 🙃
5. DVSA Standards Checks & Pass Rates:
Driving instructors are monitored (which is a good thing!) by the DVSA on pass, fail, and fault rates. Unprepared last-minute test takers risk triggering ADI badge checks, which ultimately could put our jobs on the line! 😮
It’s never personal... it's about safety and fairness!
MY ADVICE is book in some lessons with an instructor who will advise you if you are ready and consider moving your Test Date for a better & safer chance of passing ✅
