Lots of this going on in Liverpool too, be careful, likely driving uninsured, no DBS for the person sitting next to you!
A warning to all ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
Make sure your instructor has one of these above badges displayed in there windscreen 👆🏻
This should display a photo, name and instructor number
Understanding them…
The Green badge (ADI)💚 signifies a fully qualified, registered Approved driving instructor meeting DVSA standards
The Pink badge (PDI)🩷 indicates a potential driving instructor (trainee) who is taking paid lessons but is under supervision until they have completed there qualification
One of these badges should be displayed if not politely ask if you can see it!!
Why is this important….
Legally we are allowed to be paid for lessons
The car you are learning in will have proper learner insurance to cover your lessons
We are on a register and have up to date DBS checks for the pupils safety and have checks to ensure we are doing a professional job and following a code of conduct
After hearing lately some horror stories of pupils who may be experiencing the increased problem of illegal driving instructors out there just a little simple check all pupils can do to make sure they are getting taught professionally and safely as possible
If you are unsure about your driving instructor you can also check and verify them on the Gov.uk website
Please stay safe learning 🚘🚘🚘
