What are the DSA regulations for checking licences?
Quoting from DSA ATB Circular 2/2004; Prior to the commencement of a CBT course the trainee’s licence must be checked to ensure that they have the correct category entitlement. Trainees must produce both parts of their licence (photo card and counterpart) otherwise they must produce a D441 which the trainee can obtain from the DVLA. No other form of verification is acceptable to the Driving Standards Agency. This was confirmed by telephone conversation with Mary Harrison, CBT section 28/07/04 . Regardless of the course the trainee is taking, the licence checks must be completed. In the event of any licensing problems, the instructor would be prosecuted for aiding and abetting an unlicensed driver.
