Changes for "L" Drivers

Our government is following other countries in Europe such as France, Germany and Belgium where it is mandatory to have all or some lessons with an instructor. This will of course lead to a need for more Driving Instructors, hence more work.
Changes to the driving test its self, such as the introduction of mandatory log books and longer tests, will also present additional work.

Changes to the theory test to streamline the UK with other European countries present opportunities for more income from teaching and the sale of training aids. Legislation has already been passed which will require some drivers to re-sit the driving test, according to the offences committed, again the need for more instructors are required. The European Commission has already expressed the opinion that more drivers should be re-tested.

Do note however that our current economic climate may take its toll on our industry and the amount of Learners available.

National driver improvement scheme

Throughout the UK many schemes now operate in association with the Police for motorists to receive specified retraining by A.D.I's instead of automatic endorsements.

Who will benefit the most?

Where there is more need, there is more work for A.D.I's! Remember, there has to be a constant stream of new A.D.I's to replace the ones who leave the industry for whatever reason.

This illustrates a fairly consistent market. There is certainly no evidence the market will dry up, in fact quite the opposite.

As an example in January 2007, Catz-eye.com turned away 49% of pupil enquires as our diaries were fully booked and we cannot employ 'Quality' ADI's quick enough. Since then whilst recruiting new ADI's, we still operate at maximum capacity for most of the year.
