The DSA has already confirmed the change to the check test from an evaluation of an ADI’s teaching competence to an assessment of compliance to the national driver/rider standards. Alarmingly, the DSA has published the score sheet, before determining how the targets should be measured or met; the published check test document is failure orientated.
The DSA’s own statistics demonstrate that the current process is successful and in their own words “Great Britain has some of the safest roads in the world. ADI’s have contributed to this.”
When the trials of the new marking sheet were carried out 80% of instructors grades were unchanged 10% were marked up and the same figure marked down. One could argue that what’s the point of change other than my earlier comment the new standards check is failure orientated.
