Both pupil and instructor are aware of the list of medical conditions that can affect their ability to drive and agree to inform the DVLA if required to do so by law. Both pupil and instructor understand that failing to notify DVLA could result in a large fine and perhaps invalidate any insurance claims.  \nCANCELLATIONS  \nThe pupil losing their appointment card, not having phone credit or not having the money for their lesson are not valid excuses for late cancellations or not showing up for a lesson. The pupil must ensure that their instructor has up to date contact details if they need to cancel or change a lesson. If the pupil or instructor need to amend or cancel a driving lesson the appropriate notice period must be adhered to as set out below. All cancellations must be made directly between the pupil and their instructor or vice versa and within the relavant cancellation period. If the pupil does not cancel the lesson then their instructor may charge a fee.
