One of the certain facts about being a driving instructor is that you can never predict your income on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. The nature of the business (job is not appropriate for ADIs) is that even if you have a diary booked solid with driving lessons, you can't be certain the money is in the bank till you've given the tuition and have been paid.
As any DSA registered ADI will tell you, a pupil can cancel a lesson at anytime (especially if payment hasn't been made in advance), or just not turn up for the driving instructor (no show).
It is not just learner driver lesson cancellations that affect your instructor earnings, the driving standards agency (DSA) can cancel tests at short notice, either due to bad weather or examiner sickness.
If the cancellation is due to the DSA's fault, the test candidate can usually get compensation, but not if the problem is bad weather.
Just one of the perks of being a driving instructor.
