these reports contained many errors, including the number of tests in some cases, and as DSA couldn’t check which tests the data related to, it had to abandon the idea.
So how is DSA planning to get around the current obstacles it faces to be able to publish pass rates? At present the only way that DSA can collect test data and then tag it to an ADI is to record the ADI’s personal registration number from the licence displayed in the car window on test. But there is no legal requirement to have the licence on display when you are not giving instruction, and some ADI’s take it out for tests in order to help DSA from producing more inaccurate data.
So if no licence is on display, no test data can be recorded against the ADI, making it impossible for pass rates to be published.
