Covid-19 PROTOCOLS under the traffic light framework (1st December 2021)

Under the new framework Driving Lessons are defined as a close contact non-essential service:

• All of the Triple A Driving Instructors are fully vaccinated.

• All students are required to present their vaccination pass at the driving lesson.  Your instructor will verify the pass with the Covid-19 Verifier App.
• Please scan the QR code at the start of your lesson.
• All instructors will be wearing masks and we strongly encourage our students to wear one as well - unless you have a medical reason.  Click on this link for how to use a face mask safely.    
• If you have any signs of being unwell, or have been in contact with someone suspected or diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 14 days, please reschedule your lesson for at least 2 weeks-time, or longer if symptoms persist.
• We will provide hand sanitizer and will ask you to use this before and after your lesson. Your Instructor will hand sanitize between lessons also.
• If you are using your own car for the lesson please ensure all touching surfaces have been wiped down immediately before the instructor gets into your car.
• Sorry, we will not be able to shake your hand.
• No passengers in the car during the lesson, unless it is absolutely necessary. Please ask your Instructor prior to the lesson.
• Online payments are now preferred, please pay 48 hours prior to the lesson.
• Please advise us, prior to your lesson, if you have any of the following conditions: chronic asthma, diabetes, or any immune suppressed conditions.
• Gloves - You may want to wear gloves, please provide these yourself.

For each lesson your Driving Instructor will be:

• Going over all the touching surfaces in their vehicle with alcohol/disinfectant wipes before your lesson
• Setting the vehicle ventilation system to bring in fresh air, not to recirculate air. This may also include windows being opened.  Air vents will be set to forward of the vehicle to produce an air curtain (positive air pressure) between you and the instructor.
• Greeting you outside the car to ascertain if you are showing any symptoms of being unwell, and to check your vaccination pass.
• Using the instruction vehicles for lessons only and not private use.
