Applications to the committee should be submitted within one year of the driving school rejecting the pupil’s claim and within three years of his or her training ending, subject to guarantee or similar undertaking. If the complaint is one of gross negligence or breach of good faith on the part of the driving school, a period of ten years applies instead.

Your rights as a customer

There are a great many consumer laws of varying nature. Some regulations are designed to protect consumers in individual cases (civil law) and some are designed to protect consumers as a collective body (market law). What these consumer laws have in common is that they are for the consumers’ benefit. The laws cannot therefore be waived.

STR has published a leaflet with procedures for compensation and refunds in the event of cancellation, etc. This has been developed by a legal expert and was determined by the committee.
