This policy form needs to be signed by the driver and parent/legal guardian prior to first driving lesson. By you signing this form you agree that you have read and understand the behind the wheel rules and policies for Affordable Driving School.
1. The 6 hours is a total of three – two hour sessions must be completed within 1 year of permit issuance date or registration date. These drives are meant to be done over the year not back-to-back or all at once! We highly ENCOURAGE your child to have a minimum of 5-10 hours of driving experience before coming in for their 1st driving lesson.
- If the 6 hours behind the wheel training is not done within 1 year of permit issuance date or registration date, there is a reinstatement fee of $115 to extend the contract for 6 months.
2. YOU are responsible to schedule your driving lessons. We WILL NOT call you to schedule these appointments. If you purchased the basic package you may only place ONE 2 hr appointment on the schedule at a time, unless you have purchased our Accelerated option! (You have the option of upgrading to the accelerated package for a fee. Please call the office for assistance.)
3. You are required to have your physical permit with you and wear close-toed shoes for all the drives that you schedule. If you don’t bring your permit or wear close-toed shoes, you will not be able to drive. It will be considered a late cancellation and a $50.00 fee will be assessed. We will not drive you home to get it. We cannot accept the original paper permit after 30 days of issuance date. The paper permit is ONLY good for 30 days.
4. Arrive on time for your lesson. If you are more than 15 minutes late for a lesson the drive will then have to be rescheduled and the late cancellation fee of $50 will be assessed.
5. If weather conditions are poor, we will contact you. No cancellation charge will be assessed. (Please note that we DO conduct lessons in fog, rain & snow as long as it is safe i.e not on accident alert. If driver is not comfortable driving in inclement weather please call the office to reschedule.)
6. If at time of lesson the instructor feels as if the driver is under the influence of any drugs/alcohol we will NOT drive with them and will contact local authorities and the parent/guardian immediately. A.D.S. has a zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol. You will be assessed the late cancellation fee, and we will then issue a certificate for any completed BTW at that time. You will be responsible for completing the remaining hours elsewhere all payments are non-transferrable non-refundable!
7. We require 24 hour notice for rescheduling appointments. If there is a NO SHOW and/or we do not receive a cancellation call 24 hours prior to a lesson a $50 charge WILL be assessed, which must be paid before rescheduling your appointment.
8. Certificate of Completion for the behind the wheel will be submitted to the State of CO upon completion of the last lesson. We will email a copy to the email address you have on file. The copy we email you will suffice as proof to your insurance company for proof of the behind the wheel training.
