1. the registration label of your vehicle is valid, current, intact and visible.
2. you hold current compulsory third party insurance and comprehensive insurance cover for your vehicle.
3. you have notified your insurance company in writing (prior to your first driving lesson in your vehicle) that your vehicle will be used by an Instructor to provide driving lessons.

5. all indicators and brake lights are working.
6. seats and seat belts are in good working order and are not damaged or twisted.

2.2. Instructor Supplied Vehicle: On-road driving lessons are provided in manual or automatic transmission vehicles.

2.3. Lesson Provision: The duration of a standard on-road lesson time is either booked at 50 minutes or 90 minutes, including lesson briefing and de-briefing. Lessons commence and end at a pre-determined pick-up and drop-off point determined at the time of booking the lesson.

3. Provision of Lessons

3.1 You must hold a current SA driving licence (Class Car) or equivalent overseas licence and carry it with you at all times during a lesson.

3.2 You must not wear high heels, thongs or other footwear which in the opinion of the instructor may cause safety concerns with the foot controls. A flat, enclosed and secure shoe is recommended.

3.3 Mobile phones must be switched off prior to entering the training vehicle.

3.4 For on-road lessons, you must be ready to commence the lesson 10 minutes prior to the agreed time. If you do not turn up on time, your Instructor will wait 15 minutes for the lesson and may at the Instructor's discretion deduct this from the total lesson time. If you turn up outside these times, your Instructor may in his/her discretion choose not to proceed with the lesson and in such circumstances you will be liable for the cost of the lesson.

3.5 You must comply with the instructions or directions of your Instructor at all times, before or during a lesson.

3.6 We reserve the right to terminate a lesson if:

1. you engage in any behaviour that your Instructor determines is reckless; or
2. you fail to comply with the instructions or directions of your Instructor before or during a lesson; or
3. you fail to comply with any special conditions on your licence, i.e. wearing of glasses/contacts; or
4. your Instructor has assessed your driving skills and competence and deems you to be unfit or unsafe to drive (see section 7 "Fitness to drive" below).

In the event that a lesson is terminated under the circumstances listed above you will be required to pay the full cost of the terminated lesson.
