Your driving instructor will ask that you sign a copy of the Terms & Conditions form. This can be found on the inside cover of the last page of your Pupil Handbook. Signing the Terms & Conditions form shows agreement and understanding of the terms and conditions entailed in taking driving lessons with your Bill Plant Driving School Driving Instructor.

Please note that you may be offered the opportunity to pay for your driving lessons over the phone; if you do pay over the phone your credit/debit card details will not be kept by our Bookings Team as these will be used to take the single payment and will not be stored in any way whatsoever.
