🚗 Built for UK ADI driving instructors

Stop chasing no-shows. Start with the right paperwork.

ChatGPT writes generic lesson agreements. These are for UK ADI driving instructors — test day terms that let you charge for no-shows, DVSA-aware complaints procedure wording, and a cancellation policy that's enforceable because pupils signed it first.

Why DrivingLessonDocs

Not a generic lesson agreement. Not a ChatGPT template. ADI-specific documents.

A no-show on test day costs you the test fee, your car, your time. A cancellation clause only protects you if the pupil signed it first — and the right way.

🎯

Test day terms that actually work

Specifies who pays for test fees, who pays for re-tests, and your charge when a pupil doesn't show on the day. Written for the disputes ADIs actually have.

📊

DVSA-aware wording

Includes the written complaints procedure expected of professional ADIs. Shows your standard of practice and gives you a formal structure if a complaint is made.

⚡

Autofilled with your ADI details

Enter your name, ADI number, and car details once. Every document updates instantly — ready for any new pupil before their first lesson.

One test day no-show costs £80–120 in test fees, car costs, and lost time. Preventing one a year makes this subscription pay for itself. Your cancellation policy works — if they signed it.

Questions

Common questions

Can I enforce a cancellation fee legally?
Yes — as long as it was agreed in writing before the lesson. A pupil who signs your lesson agreement and cancellation policy has agreed to the terms. The fee must be reasonable (proportionate to your actual loss — a full lesson fee for a last-minute cancellation is fair and enforceable).
Do I need these if I'm with a franchise?
Your franchise may have its own terms, but many do not provide individual instructor–pupil agreements. Check your franchise agreement first. These documents complement (not replace) any franchise terms and give you a layer of personal protection.
Is the complaints procedure a DVSA requirement?
DVSA does not mandate a specific format but encourages all ADIs to have a written complaints procedure as part of professional standards. Having one in writing demonstrates professionalism and gives pupils a clear process — which is also your first line of defence if a formal DVSA complaint is made.
