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!

​✅ Need a vehicle? Dual-control hire companies like Arnold Clark can supply vehicles suited for driving tests! 🤞🚘
