Mind you, following on from that last post, we’ve had about 4-6 inches of snow now. It seems to have stopped, but the forecast is for it to freeze (it was 0°C while it was coming down, anyway).
I have a new pupil booked tomorrow morning, and I was thinking towards the end of my last lesson tonight it wouldn’t be a good idea to go out 
once I realised how bad the snow fall was. She contacted me first, and we’ve postponed.
I’ve got another pupil tomorrow who has had quite a few lessons so far, but he is one of those people who is like a coiled snake on lessons – ready to strike out in any direction at any time at the slightest thing. I’ll see how it goes, but I can see that one having to be shelved. Too risky.
Then on Monday, another pupil has a test scheduled. Unless we have the Mother Of All Thaws tomorrow, the chances of that going ahead are very slim. My HTC phone weather app reckons it will be around freezing (or miles below) overnight all week, and although past experience of that means it could be as high as 20°C, I think it might be quite close this time.
As I’ve said before, I used to love the snow (I still do in some respects). But it’s already costing me. I do lessons when it’s safe to do so – but sometimes it just isn’t.
Will my driving lessons be cancelled due to snow?
It depends on how much snow there is, how far advanced you are with your training, and your instructor’s attitude to teaching in snow. There is no rule that says you mustn’t have lessons in snow. In fact, it makes sense to do them so you can get valuable experience. But beginners shouldn’t do it, because it’s just too dangerous.
Also remember that what YOU see as being “advanced” in your training, your instructor might not agree with. It’s his or her decision.
Will my driving test be cancelled due to snow?
Quite possibly. And with the amount we’ve had, almost certainly until some of it thaws. You need to phone up the test centre on the day using the number on your appointment email confirmation and check. Otherwise, you MUST turn up – even if they cancel it at the last minute. If you don’t, you’ll lose your test fee.
