Driving instructor warns of delays as lessons resume Driving lessons resumed today 23 April, 2021 15:36
A driving instructor has welcomed getting back to work but warned the industry is about a year behind due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As driving lessons and tests were permitted to restart today following the latest lockdown, Alan Hutchinson of Abba Driving School had a good start to the day with one of his students passing her test on her first attempt.
Her test had been rescheduled seven times due to the pandemic and coronavirus regulations.
“We started last year, right at the beginning of the pandemic starting in March, then we had the first lockdown and since then she has booked seven tests that have had to be cancelled so this was the first one she was able to take,” she said.
