What's your problem? Any thing I said not correct? You've already said I was "wrong" but let's be honest this isn't the case. Does what's wrong with you have a name?452 said:

Delivery drivers delivering things like washing machines have no choice. Single vehicle but 2 people required for manual handling reasons. And bin men. You can get a fair few in those cabs.AdrianC said:
Can't speak for your others, but firemen are, as far as possible - a neighbour is one, and was telling me that they're now taking two vehicles where they would have taken one, so they can sit further apart inside the vehicle.Scrapit said:Wrong how? Coppers arent socially distancing. Neither are delivery drivers, bus drivers and a whole host of others. What's yer point? And what's a DA?
Delivery drivers round here are being very good at leaving the parcel somewhere and standing well back. No PoD sig required.0 -

Hi, I'm a driving instructor and the answer is no we are not supposed to be teaching at the moment other than key workers.
Key workers must bring along paperwork such as a wage slip or ID badge to show to police if we're stopped. There are many cases on the news that you'll find with a quick search where learners have been sent home for being out on lessons. Many people are taking advantage of the quiet roads, thinking it's a good time to get some experience but it's being frowned upon by police. The last thing hospitals need at the moment is people being in car crashes that could have easily been avoided.
I've made many videos and am updating my website daily with info on how COVID-19 is affecting driving lessons. I can't link to it and I'm not here for promotion but if you look up 1stdrive on Google or YouTube you'll find me easily.
