Just a word to say thanks... How <strong>MSA</strong> GB works for its members<br />
Every wondered what our members ask when they<br />
contact <strong>MSA</strong> GB? The question below was put to one of<br />
our head office team, which was then filtered back to<br />
Peter Harvey for a response. It’s a perfect example of<br />
the type of member’s query we deal with daily:<br />
Peter, I’ve just taken a call from (name redacted). I<br />
passed on an email from him this morning. Would you be<br />
able to call him back this afternoon please? He’s setting<br />
up his driving school and trying to get everything sorted<br />
asap. His main questions were:<br />
n He needs a recommendation on dual controls (He’s<br />
trying to confirm getting that done this week)<br />
n Any <strong>MSA</strong> discounts on insurance or best policies?<br />
n If there’s a template for Terms & Conditions for<br />
students that he can use?<br />
n If there’s a template or data protection<br />
statement regarding having a dash cam<br />
in the car?<br />
n Last and least, info on electric<br />
charger installation.<br />
Can you drop him a line with<br />
answers?<br />
Thanks,<br />

car was photographed by CCTV in a bus<br />
lane during its period of operation and you<br />
are required to pay a fine. You don’t recall<br />
this incident and on checking your diary<br />
you realise the car was out on an L-test at<br />
the time of the incident.<br />
Your predicament: As the owner,<br />
registered keeper, leaser or person<br />
responsible for the vehicle you are required<br />
to pay the fine. Unlike an offence like<br />
speeding, the law requires you to pay, not<br />
to provide details of the driver.<br />
The resolution: Clause 12 of the <strong>MSA</strong><br />
recommended Terms of Business clearly<br />
state: During an official driving test the<br />
client is in charge of the vehicle and is<br />
liable for any fines or charges levied as a<br />
result of any motoring offence committed.<br />
You are therefore able to claim the fee<br />
from the client.<br />
That’s why you need the reassurance of<br />
having the <strong>MSA</strong>’s Terms of Business behind<br />
you.<br />
It also covers you for missed lessons<br />
when the pupil fails to show, and explains<br />
the pupil’s responsibilities to you and your<br />
tuition vehicle, as well as setting out your<br />
own responsibilities to your pupils.<br />
“How do you resolve<br />
this problem? Clause 12<br />
of the <strong>MSA</strong> GB Terms<br />
of Business clearly<br />
state ‘During an official<br />
driving test the client is<br />
in charge of the vehicle<br />
and liable for any fines’
