Is it allowed by the DVLA that the instructor can send and receive text while taking driving lesson to a student?

Is it not illegal to talk by phone during a driving lesson and same time sending or receiving text in the phone to her family?

That is what happened to me.

I have paid to have driving lessons with the Bismillah Ladies Driving School Co UK and feel I have been taken for a ride.

I have wasted nearly on 30 lessons for driving courses earlier on with different driving instructors.

So after wasting so much for 30 hours, I started learning and wasted another 30 driving lesson with Bismillah Ladies Driving School Co UK which is being run by a lady driving instructor. This company is a joke. Was initially told that she would get you ready in 30 hours and closer to time they make the standard excuse saying that the student is not ready, does not have the calibre etc and tries to buy more of your time.

She was so nice until the practical test is booked for me. Once it is booked her behaviours started changing. She taught nothing except straight roads and keeping silent which is not right. The two things she did were texting to her husband and kept on stressing me to postpone. And at the last moment, she charged £ 130 – 2 hours lesson £40 + practical test hiring the car £ 90. which I cannot avoid but to pay and hire her to pass the test. Day light looting, unfair and cheating. In this way, she forced me to pay for her quest for money.

The reason she said that I need more practice. The genuine reason being she cannot make more money. Had she taught me properly without on being phone I would have passed the test.

The first thing she did was instead of teaching me, during my hour of learning all the time she will be on phone by sending and receiving text to her husband.Once , it is so happened a delivery van driver was forced to stop and tell her not to apply brake suddenly in the roundabout as I was on learning and on drive and she was on text.

The second reason, she would come ten to fifteen minute late in the first place and fill petrol in your paid driving lesson hour.

Absolutely unprofessional - She picks up/drop students even your class time is not finished. This is because the new student is picked up from their place and it takes time drop you back to your place.

She would ask you to wait outside the car even though your hour started and the existing student hour finished.

She would talk and talk and would ask rudely stay outside the car till she finishes her talks with the student whose hour is already completed. She was unhelpful. Do not use their service, unless you like to pay money and have nothing to show for it.

Again, instead of giving rigorous driving lessons at the last couple of days before your driving test, she would stay away purposely from you by texting you that the traffic is too much on her way to your place due to which she would have to cancel. She would not train you and make driving easy and comfortable she ought to have done. Because she receives money from the student.

Like this, she earns unfairly illegally by cheating the students. Cheating by all means unlawful. Never again will I make this mistake of going through unreasonable one woman owned company.

When instructor has in mind to prolong the hours to boost up their earning so you can't complete things in time. This is totally dishonest approach of making money. She did not give proper training where necessary for speed limit.

She did not give proper training in the roundabout and various parking types.

Therefore, I recommend not to choose this money making company and this so called losing of money in the name of driving lesson. “Please stay away from these people”

Avoid at all costs. WASTE OF YOUR MONEY.
