How we conduct COVID Safe Driving Lessons
We are taking the following COVID Safe Driving Lesson measures to ensure the safety of yourself and your instructor. We would appreciate it if you could do your part too so we can create a safe environment for everyone!
Before your lesson
Your instructor will arrive 5 minutes before your lesson to disinfect the interior and exterior of the car including hand controls and door handles. They’ll also sanitise their hands to make sure EVERYTHING is squeaky clean.
When you hop in the car
You’ll use our hand sanitiser and sign a COVID-19 waiver. This is just to make sure you do not have flu-like symptoms and have not been in contact with people who’ve tested positive for the virus or returned from overseas recently.Â
During your lesson
We’ll practice the required distancing where appropriate. Try to avoid touching your face (sometimes we do this out of habit!). Also if you need to cough or sneeze, do so into the crook of your arm.
After your lesson
Your instructor will wipe down the interior and exterior of your car with a disinfectant wipe including all hand controls and door handles. They’ll also sanitise their hands again.
Your Instructor
If your instructor or any students are exhibiting symptoms of any sickness, all lessons are to be rescheduled for a future date. The head office and manager will be informed in these instances.
If your instructor is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, they are required to get tested for COVID-19 within 48 hours. They cannot attend lessons, tests or visit the head office until they have been cleared of COVID-19.
Your COVID Safe Safer Drivers Course
Module 1 – Classroom Session
All students will be seated at least 1.5 metres apart to maintain social distancing.
You’ll use our hand sanitiser and sign the COVID-19 waiver which you’ll need to bring to your module 2 session to give to your coach along with your module 1 workbook.
Try to avoid touching your face (sometimes we do this out of habit!). Also if you need to cough or sneeze, do so into the crook of your arm.
Module 2 – Car Session
Your module 2 coach will arrive 5 minutes before your session start time to disinfect the interior and exterior of the car including hand controls and door handles. They’ll also sanitise their hands to make sure EVERYTHING is squeaky clean.
You will also use our hand sanitiser and hand over the signed COVID-19 waiver to your coach.
We’ll practice the required distancing where appropriate. Try to avoid touching your face here as well and if you need to cough or sneeze, do so into the crook of your arm.
Your coach will also be disinfecting the car at the end of your session too.
Your Facilitator and Coach
If your facilitator or coach is exhibiting symptoms of any sickness prior to the course, the head office and manager will be informed so a replacement can be found for the course.
