With the swine flu virus starting to take a hold in the Midlands, we’re all becoming more conscious of the fact it could hit any one of us. The risk is increased the more people we come into contact with. With this in mind, I now have a policy to use disposable disinfectant wipes at the end of each driving lesson, and thoroughly clean all areas of the car that a pupil may touch (steering wheel, gear lever, hand brake, door handles, indicator lever, windscreen wiper controls, seat adjustor bar, electric window buttons and all other ancillary controls and switches) So please don’t be offended if at the end of your lesson as you walk away you see me set to work cleaning. It really isn’t anything personal, just a way to reduce the risk of cross contamination at this time of need.
Also, if you have symptoms of flu and we have a driving lesson booked then please call me to cancel - you won’t be charged for the lesson even if it’s short notice, so don’t worry about that.
Fingers crossed for happy flu-free motoring!!
