Driving instructor statistics (INS)
Data on approved driving instructors, compulsory training and incidents.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) have recently suspended non-testing duties for its staff who are qualified to conduct driving tests in order to maximise the number of examiners available to conduct practical car tests, and to further reduce driving test waiting times. This has resulted in a large reduction in the number of Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) instructor standards checks conducted in the latest quarter.
