I'm joined by Amanda Lane, Head of Driver Testing and Training Policy at the DVSA. We discuss:

• Why the DVSA is encouraging private practice
• How driving instructors can use their guidance
• Are they alienating people

As always, your feedback on the episode is welcome and you can find Amanda's blog here and you can find the guidance for parents here.
