From the beginning of this month learner drivers paying for driving lessons should only use a full permit holding approved driving Instructor registered with the Road Safety Authority.
That’s the RSA’s message to learner drivers following the introduction of new laws which, for the first time, regulate driving instructors in Ireland. Learner drivers looking for their nearest Approved Driving Instructor can visit www.rsa.ie or www.drivingtest.ie or www.theorytest.ie to download the list of full permit holding approved driving instructors.
Commenting on the introduction of the new ADI regulations Noel Brett, CEO, Road Safety Authority, said: “If you want to pass your driving test make sure your instructor has passed all of ours. So, if booking lessons with an instructor ask if he or she is a full permit holding approved driving instructor and ask to see their official RSA ADI badge.” The regulation process applies to individual instructors and not to driving schools.
