<p> </p><p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) consulted recently on proposals
to modernise and, as far as possible, reduce any potential burden that the current
regulatory framework could place on approved driving instructors (ADI); it will publish
the response to consultation shortly.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation's proposals were
designed to reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses, therefore, the consultation
document proposed that DVSA would not mandate the voluntary fleet driver trainer register.</p><p>
</p><p>The pass rate for the B+E practical test is 67%, one of the highest pass rates
for any category of test; unlike learner drivers people seeking B+E instruction must
already hold a full category B driving licence. Most BE instruction is already carried
out by vocational trainers who are competent to provide this service given their expertise
in delivering training in category C vehicles and CE. Therefore, DVSA current has
no plans to extend the regulation of paid driving instruction in a motor car to BE
training; neither does it have plans to extend the regulatory framework for ADIs to
cover paid vocational driver training.</p><p> </p><p />
