Breath Test for Alcohol.
As a result of recent research regarding ‘Morning After Drink Driving’ 1st Class Rider has obtained a Driving Instructor Association approved Breath Testing Device. We reserve the right to require clients who we suspect may still be under the influence of alcohol to undergo a screening breath test at the start of any training day.
A ‘postive’ result will immediatly terminate and cancel the training session, and will invoke the cancellation policy which will apply.
If any client refuses or declines a breath test in such a circumstance, we reserve the right to cancel their course, without refund in accordance with our cancelation policy.
Please note we will only require clients to provide a specimen of breath for a breath test if we suspect the presence of alcohol in their breath.
If you have a training course booked the day after you intend consuming alcohol, please drink sensibly and in moderation.
This is to safeguard you, other students who may be training with you and our instructors.
