More Powers Given to the Registrar of ADIs
Posted on November 16th, 2009 by admin, under Latest News.
The Driving Instruction (Suspension and Exemption Powers) Act 2009 received Royal Assent last Thursday. Under new legislation, the Registrar of ADIs has powers to suspend a reckless driving instructor immediately.
Previously, it took 45 days to remove driving instructors who pose a significant threat to learner drivers and road safety from the register of Approved Driving Instructors. This loophole allowed irresponsible instructors to continue to give driving tuition. New suspension powers will enable the Registrar to take action immediately.
The new law started as Private Members Bill and received support from the Department for Transport and Driving Standard Agency. Law makers hope the act will serve as a strong message for those driving instructors who pose danger to their pupils and the public. The new law will also apply to Potential Driving Instructors.
