Are all Instructors fully qualified?
No. A fully qualified instructor must display a green octagonal badge in the windscreen of the car. A loophole in the law allows a part – qualified, trainee instructor to practice on fee paying pupils such as you to gain their experience to pass the final, but most difficult, qualifying exam. This practice is abused by some of the bigger, national “household name” driving schools. These instructors pay a fee to the Driving Standards Agency, they must display a pink triangular badge in the car. You might think it better to pay your hard earned money to someone with proven experience than to a novice.
