I don’t think the industry will be regulated anytime soon. The quote, from a high up in government, is “there is no political will to introduce legislation”. I lobby DVSA continually on the subject. But, if we’re to be cynical, where is the incentive for them to do anything about it. More tests, retests etc = more revenue for DVSA.
So it really is down to the individual to do their homework. There are a number of very good trainers out there. Just a matter of finding them! And, of course, what doesn’t help is the perpetual lies on websites coupled with photoshopped pictures.
I make myself extremely vulnerable as sponsor of the forum cos if we get anything wrong the world will know - and very quickly! Thankfully, all feedback has been positive to date.
