DSA will stop publishing theory test questions
Posted on December 10th, 2010 by admin, under Latest News.
Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is restless about improving the entire driving test regime. Following the introduction of independent driving in October, DSA officials announced its plan to stop publishing the theory test questions and answers.
The move will be introduced in an attempt to enhance learner drivers’ understanding of the principles behind driving theory. As you know, DSA is now publishing the multiple choice questions and answers used in theory test. DSA officials believe this to be ineffective practice with learners focusing on memorising right answers instead of understanding them.
In September 2011 DSA will change learning materials for theory test, adding more sophisticated case studies. Then, from January 2012, DSA will introduce theory tests using questions which will not be available to learners.
Will this push the pass rate down? Or will it improve road safety? The answer is yours.

Understanding the role of an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)
Posted on July 30th, 2008 by admin, under Driving Instructor, Driving Tips.
Approved Driving Instructors are professionally qualified to give advice and have the correct knowledge regarding driving procedures and driving test requirements. They have received Driving Instructor training in order to teach driving skills to learner drivers and have received tuition relating to the driving test. When you become a Driving Instructor you will be trained to teach driving skills in a structured manner to suit differing abilities.
Formal tuition can only be given by a trainee Instructor, or a qualified Driving Standards Agency, Approved Driving Instructor (DSA ADI), who can also help structure the private practice.
Many learner drivers only have driving lessons for one or two hours per week and their driving experience is limited to driving at the same time of day and over the same roads. Accompanying a learner driver is a good way of helping your friends or relatives become safe drivers. It’s a team effort involving you, the learner driver and the Driving Instructor.
Working together is the best way of ensuring everyone’s aim of safe driving for life.
