Continue allowing driving instructors & driving schools to book and manage tests
The DVSA should continue its current approach of allowing driving instructors/schools to book tests. We think these professionals uphold standards, ensure readiness & reduce road risk. We think blocking them can force learners to chance tests unprepared, which could risk more road traffic accidents.

Background
We believe blocking approved driving instructors from booking and managing tests could risk a surge in road traffic incidents. Instructors can ensure candidates are test-ready, which may reduce dangerous “chancers” who could gamble unprepared. We think removing this safeguard undermines road safety, penalises professionalism, and puts lives at risk. Continue instructor access rather than potentially risk road safety!
