Scheduled lessons may be changed as to time and/or place by notifying Bains Driving School of the intended change at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the lesson. If a student cancels late or is otherwise unable to attend or does not show for a scheduled lesson, then the student will, at our discretion, be charged thirty ($30) dollars or else will forfeit the lesson time.
This fee reflects the loss of earnings to the school and the instructor, as the lost time could have been better spent in the training of another student. If another student can be inserted into the time we reserved for you, then there will be no charge at all. Remember, there is NEVER a charge for lessons canceled in a timely manner.
If you wish to cancel a driving lesson, we require 48 hours notice otherwise a cancellation fee of $30.00 will be assessed.
For canceling a road test appointment made by Bains Driving School, we require 72 hours notice, as we must notify ICBC. Failure to give Bains Driving School sufficient notice may result in the student having to pay a $25 Road Test Cancellation Fee to ICBC.
Payment must be made no later than the end of each driving lesson or road test session. There will be no refund for driving lessons or road test sessions that have taken place.
If the student has pre-paid for driving lessons or a road test session, there will be no refund given in cases of insufficient notice of cancellation.
To produce safe, knowledgeable drivers, and to provide quality instruction by well trained, professional instructors. we are expected to abide by all standards of excellence and integrity, placing the public’s well-being above all other considerations.
Students must provide a valid BC Learners Drivers Licence or Drivers Licence, including foreign drivers’ licence before the first lesson. Students must carry their licence at all times during training. There will be a maximum of 3 people (1 observing) in the Bains Driving School vehicle during the student’s lesson time. We offer private lessons to our students. That is, under most circumstances only two people, the student and instructor, are in the training vehicle at one time. There may be occasions when others may have to be present due to scheduling issues or for training purposes. However, on your road test ICBC might place multiple examiners in the car, and we can’t control what ICBC does.
Lessons will normally be a full 60 minutes or 90 minutes or 120 minutes or any other length of time agreed upon between student and school or student and instructor. During the lesson, the student will receive both driving time behind the wheel and verbal training where the training vehicle may or may not be in actual motion due to safety considerations, and each of our lessons contains at least 60% actual practice driving time. All lessons start and end at the appointed time, although the lesson may start earlier if there is mutual agreement between the student and the instructor. If the student is late for a lesson appointment the student loses that portion of the lesson time for which he or she was late. If the instructor is late for a lesson appointment the student does not lose any lesson time, as the student will receive a time extension of his or her lesson equal to the time the instructor was late either immediately at the end of the same lesson or on another lesson at a future date in addition to that lesson’s normal and regular length. Please allow your instructor a 15 minute grace period if he or she is not at the appointed place at the appointed time before contacting Bains Driving School. Your instructor may be delayed due to heavy traffic or due to other circumstances beyond our control, but rest assured you will always receive the time that is due to you. Vehicle and/or instructor may be changed without notice.
Road tests can be booked either by the student or by Bains Driving School. The student must sign a consent and release form before Bains Driving School may book a road test on their behalf. Students must be in an active training program, taking driving lessons, within 07 days of a road test booked by Bains Driving School, or Bains Driving School reserves the right to cancel any road test appointments it has made.
According to ICBC’S New Insurance Model Policy from 1 September 2019, all students who will drive any of driving school vehicles more than 12 days in any 12 months period, his name should be listed in the Insurance Policy of the Vehicle.
