It is true that, to create a level playing field, we need you all to display your certificates to help us prioritise those ADIs that need some extra support. We’re using the analysis of this data to prioritise standards checks. We want to raise training standards and I’m sure you agree 55% should be a minimum achievable professional standard. This clearly shows that those using a professional instructor drive to a higher standard but we can and should expect this and more from professional instruction. The average pass rate achieved by ADIs who have presented candidates for test, displaying their badge (certificate) is currently 52%. We have set the parameter at 55% or below. Pass Rate Nationally it has been at around 46% for many years (this is all tests not just those presented by ADI’s).Physical Intervention by a driving examiner (ETA P) This is set at 10% or more.Serious Faults This is set at an average 0.5 or more.Driver Faults This is set at an average of 5 or more.During lockdown when standards checks had to be suspended, my team analysed thousands of pieces of data to create 4 parameters. I want to reassure you that the data we are using to prioritise goes beyond a simple pass or fail result. Whilst we don't expect an ADI to have 100% pass rate (we all know nerves can play a part on the day) there is a pattern to the standards presented by higher performing ADIs and those that regularly present a lower standard. So, when an ADI presents a candidate for a driving test, whatever the journey they have been on to reach the point of being test ready, they are, in an ADI’s professional opinion, ready and safe to drive independently. Having been an ADI myself I know that every pupil is different but I also know that ADIs specialise in adapting their training to suit each customer. I know some ADIs are concerned that candidate test results are a rather blunt tool to use to decide who needs a standards check. I know how hard you are working to meet the demand for lessons and prepare your pupils for their tests.Įveryone at DVSA appreciates the role you are playing in helping the driver training industry and indeed our nation, to build back better. I know that the pandemic has been a difficult, uncertain time for you and your businesses. In my blog post I want to explain more about the parameters and the data we are now using to help us to prioritise standards checks, what this means for you and how you can benefit from this. I’ve used my experience to help create a new service that has been designed to support driving instructors and help them to develop and improve. Leading the ADI team during the pandemic gave me an opportunity to look at how we could innovate and improve the service we deliver and support consumers through a lifetime of safe driving. Like you I am passionate about improving road safety. For those of you that don’t know me, I started my career as a driving instructor before joining DVSA to specialise in the Agency’s ADI-related work. The increase in driver’s has been steady since the beginning of the reporting period in 1975/76, when a little under half of all adults in the country were license holders.Hi, I’m Laura Great-Rex, I work for the enforcement directorate at DVSA. Of adults living in England, 75 percent held a driving license. Pass rates declined from 2016/17 onwards after having stayed relatively consistent between 2012//17. In 2019/20, 49.6 percent of male participants passed the test, compared with 42.6 percent of female participants. Pass rates for practical driving tests were consistently higher for men than women. This was the second year in a row that the number of tests taken had decreased, with the share of passed tests staying relatively constant in respect to overall number.ĭriving is still an inherent part of life for many people in the UK and still the most common mode of transport. Of these less than fifty percent were successful. In 2019/20, there were about 1.6 million practical driving tests taken in the United Kingdom.
