Alert Drivers are doing thier upmost to keep all students and instructors safe during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Student and instructor safety is of paramount importance to Alert Drivers, following is a list of safety measures put in place for lessons:

• Seat covers are provided for the safety and comfort of student's during their lessons, this will add to  a clean and safe training environment..
• Disposable plastic gloves are available should students wish to use them.
• In car hand sanitiser.  Which can be used throughout the lesson but must be used by the student before entering the vehicle.
• Wipes for deep cleaning and cleaning of controls/ drivers area / door handles before and after lessons.
• All instructors will wear face coverings (Masks) to help reduce the risk of spreading the virus, following  DfT rulings for public transport this will be extended to also include students.
• Before entering the vehicle contact less temperature readings of both student and instructor will be taken with an infra-red thermometer.  If either instructor or student is displaying an above normal temperature the lesson will not go ahead and whoever has an unusually high temperature reading will be encouraged to seek further medical advice from thier doctor.
• Avoid in car face to face communication.  Lesson discussions and instruction of new skills will be encouraged to take place outside of the vehicle.  Your instructor will have an umberella for this if necessary.
• Any student under the age of 18 years must have a parent or guardian permission before commencing the first lesson to confirm that their responsible adult is happy with the safety systems put in place, this can be done either in person at the start of the lesson or through normal telephone / mobile or internet communication. 

Students will be contacted prior to lessons via text to confirm the following:

• They are in good health and not displaying any covid 19 symptoms.
• They have not, to their knowledge, been in contact with anyone displaying symptoms.
• They wash their hands for at least 20 seconds prior to leaving the house to attend their lesson.

When booking lessons the student will be asked a little about thier home background purely to ensure safety for all.  Anyone living with or in contact with a person deemed to be high risk or vulnerable will, unfortunately, not be permitted to undertake driving lessons at this time.

Alert Drivers School of Motoring take the risks and safety of everyone very seriously.

Stay ALERT.
