Priscilla has taken its destiny in hand, moving up a gear. “I trained and got two degrees: one to teach driving, the other to open my business. In June 2018, all the lights were green for her to start off on her new life, creating the driving school of the Valley in Knutange. Since then, nothing could have stopped her. “I am alone, but very organized, between code lessons and driving lessons. “

Accounts in the red
“I have invested a lot between the premises, the car, the training. The virus has slowed the manager’s rise, who has had to resolve to ease off. “We had already lost control of the code, there without a driving lesson, I could not get any more money. However, there is always insurance to pay and fixed costs to go out. Fortunately, I had a few savings. We will never make up for those two months on forced arrest, but luckily it did not last long, because it would have been a disaster for the profession. “

€ 700 spending
Since Monday, she has resumed the path of her small business, investing more than € 700 to work safely. “I can only accommodate seven students in the code room. In the car, we can no longer be three and for the moment, I no longer take the students home. I have to constantly disinfect the premises, like the car. I am wearing a mask and visor and I have added protections on the seats. “
So this summer, she knows, she will not go on vacation. But it is positive. Driving her car, Priscilla has regained her dear freedom and the urge to go for it.
