- Important Information -

Any driving instructor taking a fee for instruction must, by law, be registered with the Government's Driving Standards Agency and display the Driving Standards Agency licence (see example on left) inside the windscreen. Make sure that your instructor is displaying such a licence and look for the colour. 

There are two qualifications for Driving Standards Agency driving instructors:

  1. PDI (Potential Driving Instructor) A Pink Licence means that the instructor has not yet passed the final  Driving Standards Agency exam of instructional ability and is a trainee and therefore not fully qualified.

  2. ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) A Green Licence shows that the instructor has passed all the DSA exams and is therefore a registered Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor.

Some driving schools, including large national schools, employ trainee (Pink Licence) driving instructors! Make sure that you ask before you sign any agreements! If they can't guarantee to supply a fully qualified instructor you should try to negotiate a smaller fee.

NB If your driving instructor is charging a fee and doesn't display or have a licence and you suspect he/she may not be qualified, you should report this to the Driving Standards Agency.

Logbooks and CD ROMs

I consider that a record of the client's lessons is essential. Without this record it is almost impossible to keep up with each individual client's progress and requirements. The DorWey logbook consists of 30 pages which include progress charts and comments pages. You will also find that the logbook contains all the 'Tell and Show' questions (and answers) - two of which will be asked at the beginning of the Practical Test. At the end of each lesson the logbook is updated, showing what has been achieved and notes of any problems that will have to be addressed during the following lessons. The DorWey logbook is an integral part of the course. 

The logbooks have a one-off cost of £5 each.

 


  PASS PLUS

  • Pass Plus is a Driving Standards Agency scheme that encourages newly qualified drivers to gain more experience under the guidance of an Approved Driving Instructor. The benefits include lower insurance premiums and ADI guided driving experience in new areas and more demanding situations.

  • Pass Plus takes the newly qualified driver out of the Dorchester/Weymouth area, onto the motorways near Southampton and then into the Bournemouth/Poole conurbation. The course can be completed in six hours.

  • During the Pass Plus course the client will be encouraged to navigate by using maps, direction signs and the TomTom Go satellite navigation system.

*DorWey Price Pledge

When a pupil starts a driving course at DorWey the price is guaranteed not to be increased, providing that:

  • They take less than 10 months to pass their test.

  • There is not a rapid increase in fixed costs such as fuel. If fuel prices or other fixed costs do increase significantly then lesson prices will only rise to cover the extra costs and no more.

Furthermore, if prices are dropped to attract new customers all existing customers will have their prices lowered to the same level!
