How To Choose A Driving Instructor?

In the UK, only Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs), and licenced instructors under training, can give instructions. It is illegal for anyone else to charge you for driving lessons. Two types of badge are issued by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) for display in tuition vehicles. A green, octagonal badge shows the instructor is fully qualified and approved. A pink, triangular badge shows the instructor is licenced under training and is not yet fully qualified.

The DSA authorised ADIs should be having the following qualifications.
  • Must be having a full driving license for the last 4 years.
  • Passed successfully the complex theory test
  • Registered with DSA.
A good driving instructor must be
  • Reliable
  • Punctual
  • Should have a good reputation/references
  • Registered with DSA
  • And a well maintained car
Take absolutely no notice of pass rates at all. They are so easy to fake, twist, abuse they should not be taken as any guide to how good the instructor is. If an instructor is prepared to show you the report they recieved from the Driving Standards Agency, then you can have a good look at it and make your own mind up, but even then it may not be an accurate reflection of their performance.

A 100% pass rate may mean that the instructor has got all of his customers through their test. What it doesn't say is that out of the 10, 9 of them took it more than 3 times in order to pass! Or that they have only had 1 customer. Or in the worst cases their first customer to test has passed, so for the rest of that year they have removed their badge from the window so that as far as the DSA can tell they only had 1 customer all year.

  1. Enroll in driving schools that are reliable and authentic. Most of the good driving schools teach all the basic learning techniques so that it is easy to comprehend the signs and signals on the road. Basic maneuvering techniques are also taught by these schools. Choose schools that provide cars for driving lessons as these cars are often insured against accidents.
