Car Insurance - Crack down on illegal driving instructors - 04/03/2008

 
 
  Driving instructors without qualifications operates on British roads en masse. Therefore the Driving Standards Agency has now launched a campaign to crack down on the frauds.

Only instructors who are approved by the Agency and listed in their register are allowed to give driving lessons for money to the public.

The ADI Registrar, Charles Morton said,

"Illegal instructors are a danger to the public as they have not been assessed by us to ensure that they are able to provide driving instruction to the required standard. And they will not hold the correct insurance, so will not be covered in the event of an accident.”

The head of the DSA Fraud and Integrity team, Andy Rice, said,

"We investigate all reported cases of suspected illegal instruction and we work very closely with the Police and criminal justice agencies to identify offenders and prosecute". To make sure that an instructor is qualified the Driving Standards Agency advice you to check that the teacher has a pink or green certificate in their windscreen and to make sure that the photo id is the person teaching you. To use an illegal instructor could mean more time and money and a higher risk of causing road accidents. Furthermore, illegal instructors often lack to hold a proper car insurance.
