Listen Later

Thank you for joining us this in this episode. In today's episode, we discuss fraudulent driving instructors and how to spot them! A video went viral on Facebook! What should pupils be aware of? Ho can learners check that their driving instructor is legit! 

There are two types of driving instructor! 

PDI and ADI 

PDI is a driving instructor in training 

ADI is a fully qualified driving instructor 

If your driving instructor has no badge in their car's window - then you should steer clear. Ask where their badge is. 

What are the implications of having driving lessons with an 'instructor' who isn't qualified? Insurance is invalidated. 

The badge enables the instructor to take payment for the lesson. 

Visit the DVSA website for more details. 

889 cases of fraudulent tests recorded of driving tests being sat by other people. 500% increase. 

Sometimes the pupil's picture is NOT showcasing the pupil's real identity as licences are taken when students are very young. 

The examiners didn't question the pupil's image on his driving licence and took him out on their driving test. 

Is the system in place actually working? 

Teenagers lose weight, gain weight, change their hairstyles - what are the DVSA actually doing to resolve this situation. 

Should the DVSA stop taking pictures from passports? 

In this show we also prank the lovely driving instructor called Ricky - who was featured in 'the all-star driving school' and Soto pretends to be a famous Cypriot singer student who is famous and needs to have driving lessons in a limousine! 

And, he completely fell for it! 

We also discuss teaching daughter's to drive! Mum and dad driving school! Stay tuned for the journey of my daughter's driving lessons and how I get on with being her mum! 

Until next time, thanks for listening!
