We’re kicking off the first in a collection of episodes where I find out more about the associations – both the national and local variety. Today I'm joined the President of the Approved Driving Instructor National Joint Council, Lynne Barrie.

Lynne speaks openly about who the ADINJC actually represents, what it is they do, and we dive into the current testing crisis including if and how they challenge the DVSA. Plus there’s some very exciting news around the NJC joining the PACTS – The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety.  

I’m really looking forward to talking to associations all across the UK – so if you’re part of an association and would like to feature in this collection, then please reach out and get in touch.
