DSA cracks down on illegal driving schools

Further to the BBC One show programme on illegal driving schools, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) has continued its initiative to deal with the rising number of illegal driving instructors by sucessfully prosecuting a man in Derbyshire for faslely taking money from learner drivers while not qualified or having his name on the DSA register of approved driving instructors.



The DSA has said that it is taking the issue of illegal driving instruction very serious, and with over 400 cases currently being investigated, it is hoping for more convictions in the future.

Anyone thinking about becoming a driving instructor should do the proper research before spending money and time, as a few of these illegal ADIs are people who have failed the qualifying process, and have continued to teach and charge learner drivers!

If you suspect any driving school is operating illegally, you should contact the DSA on 02920 581155 or email integrity.team@dsa.gsi.gov.uk

Cheap Driving Lessons

Affordable driving school

If you are thinking of learning to drive a car in the UK in the present credit crunch economy, then it might have crossed your mind to look for cheap driving lessons. Affordable driving tuition can be a very good way of learning to drive, but you must be very careful who offers driving lessons to you, as you might end up either paying more in the long run with the driving instructor or at worst be throwing a lot of money down the drain.



If you particuarly go for the lowest priced driving school in your area (might be offering £15 or £17 lessons in London for instance), then you need to make sure that the instructor is operating legally, is insured and are registered with the Driving standards Agency (DSA), and thus will be giving you the right type of driving lessons to help you drive safe and pass the UK road test.

Dirt cheap driving lessons could turn out to be exactly that, can your potential cheap school provide a references from former learner drivers, have they been operating long enough to have built up a good reputation, how about the driving lesson car, is it roadworthy, fully insured and comfortable to drive.

These are some questions you need to ask yourself before trying to save your money by going for cheap driving lessons from a school or instructor (ADI or PDI).

Value and quality is more important, if an instructor can offer Driving Lesson Videos, while it might cost slightly more initially, you will benefit in the long run, and pass your test earlier and at less total cost with out being held back by a doggy person who wants to recoup the loss made from smaller profit margins by having you stay with them longer.
