Inviting candidates to choose a new test date
Before the driving test booking service reopened for the general public, we emailed candidates with a test on hold to give them priority to book a new test date.

Some of these candidates have still not chosen a new test date. We’ll be emailing them again from tomorrow (Thursday 10 September 2020) to remind them they need to do this.

This is the last time we will be able to give your pupils with a test on hold priority to choose a new test date.

Choosing a new date
The email will include a link to the online booking system to choose a new test date. Only candidates who already have a test on hold will be able to use this.

Your pupils will need to choose a new test date before 11.30pm on Sunday 13 September 2020 to have priority over the general public.

We will be reopening the booking service for new tests at 8am on Monday 14 September 2020.

If your pupil had a test booked before the pandemic but does not receive an invitation to choose a new appointment, they can do this at https://www.gov.uk/change-driving-test.

All available test slots will be shown on the online service. Your pupils should not contact our customer service centre as they will not be able to book any alternative test slots.

Making sure your pupils are ready
It's important that you speak to your pupils before they rebook their tests to make sure:

they are ready to take their test
you are available to take them
As examiners will only be at test centres when they have a test booked, we have increased the minimum notice period for booking a test from 60 minutes to 10 hours.

Wearing a face covering
All candidates must wear a face covering when taking their driving test, unless they have a good reason not to. This includes if:

they have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability that means they cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering
putting on, wearing or removing a face covering would cause them severe distress
When they arrange their test, they’ll need to say if there’s a good reason they cannot wear a face covering. The email will tell them how to do this.

What your pupils can expect when taking their test
We've published guidance on GOV.UK about what your pupils can expect on the day of their test.

Welcome Back!
Monday the 24th of August will feel very strange to our instructors and clients. Firstly thankyou for your continuing support through these difficult times.

What to expect.
Face masks/coverings must be worn to your lesson. We will have a limited supply to purchase if you forget one. Don't worry we will have ours on too!
Gloves will be provided for you to use in the car
Belongings – Please avoid bringing things to the car you dont need ie bags, jackets, phones. If you do have to bring anything it can be kept in the boot.
Equipment – There will be no sharing of equipment or teaching aids so you may want to bring a pen to fill in your booklet
Ventilation - Windows will be opened as much as possible so dress appropriately for the good old Scottish weather!
Pick Up – It would be preferred to pick you up from your home address however please speak to your instructor if this is unavoidable
Entering the vehicle – When we arrive for your lesson, check with your instructor before entering the vehicle. They will want to check you are well before getting in. Sanitise your hands !
Payments – Payment can be made by cash or bank transfer

As before, we will continue to sanitise the vehicle inbetween lessons to reduce the risk of transmission

Since lockdown we have had so many people looking for driving lessons with ourselves that we are actually overwhelmed. The current situation requires that we contact clients who were already taking lessons before lockdown, to continue their lessons with us. This will be completed over the next few days, we understand that situations may have changed since we last talked. We also have a number of potential clients on our waiting list. Over the next few weeks you will be contacted to advise of further waiting times. Some things are out of our control such as the back log of outstanding tests and test times. Our instructors may not be out at full capacity yet due to time taken to clean cars between lessons and family commitments

Driving Test
The driving test has also changed, Please familiarize yourself with
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-driving-tests-and-theory-tests

Lastly
Covid 19 Symptoms – You must not attend a lesson if you / anyone in your family have symptoms of Covid 19 or are subject to any self isolation requirements arising from holidays/ foreign trips.
Due to test, track and trace procedures, any clients who cancel lessons with symptoms, must be tested and results shared with your instructor. No further lessons will be booked unless this guidance is followed. This is to protect our instructors, their famillies and our other clients. Please be aware that your instructor and anyone they come into contact with will have to self isolate until test results are returned so it is vital you dont attend a lesson with symptoms. Lessons cancelled due to Covid 19 symptoms will not be charged. All other cancellations will be subject to our usual terms and conditions.
