Our Hygiene Protocols

Learning Pedals Driving School has implemented several strict hygiene practices to protect your health and well-being. As a reputed Driving School, your health and safety is our top priority. Here are a few things we are doing:

1. Increased cleaning of our cars – all our Driving Instructors wipe down all contact surfaces after completing a lesson and before commencing a new lesson. We spray and wipe down all contact surfaces and dispose of wipes in a safe manner as advised by the authorities.
2. Santisation – all our driving instructors carry hand sanitisers with them and will sanitise themselves before lessons and ask you to sanitise your hands when you get in the car.
3. Limiting our lessons – we have limited the number of lessons we are conducting to ensure we are available to assist those who need to prepare and go for their licence appointments.

We have implemented all the health and hygiene protocols that have been both imposed and advised by the government.

We are consistently monitoring the situation and as a team take appropriate decisions and measures to ensure our driving instructors and clients are safe always, most of the time taking actions before it becomes mandatory.

By implementing all these procedures, it means we can continue to assist our clients while protecting our staff and clients.
