Mind you, following on from that last post, we\u2019ve had about 4-6 inches of snow now. It seems to have stopped, but the forecast is for it to freeze (it was 0\u00b0C while it was coming down, anyway).<\/p>\n

I have a new pupil booked tomorrow morning, and I was thinking towards the end of my last lesson tonight it wouldn\u2019t be a good idea to go out \"Snowflake<\/a>once I realised how bad the snow fall was. She contacted me first, and we\u2019ve postponed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve 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 \u2013 ready to strike out in any direction at any time at the slightest thing. I\u2019ll see how it goes, but I can see that one having to be shelved. Too risky.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> 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<\/strong> be as high as 20\u00b0C, I think it might be quite close this time.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said before, I used to love the snow (I still do in some respects). But it\u2019s already costing me. I do lessons when it\u2019s safe to do so \u2013 but sometimes it just isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Will my driving lessons be cancelled due to snow?<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

It depends on how much snow there is, how far advanced you are with your training, and your instructor\u2019s attitude to teaching in snow. There is no rule that says you mustn\u2019t have lessons in snow. In fact, it makes sense to do them so you can get valuable experience. But beginners shouldn\u2019t do it, because it\u2019s just too dangerous.<\/p>\n

Also remember that what YOU see as being \u201cadvanced\u201d in your training, your instructor might not agree with. It\u2019s his or her decision.<\/p>\n

Will my driving test be cancelled due to snow?<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quite possibly. And with the amount we\u2019ve 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 \u2013 even if they cancel it at the last minute. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll lose your test fee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
