At YourLocalDrivingInstructor.co.uk we recommend that you take driving lessons with a fully qualified driving instructor and if you can have some practice with family or friends when you're instructor thinks you're ready! A fully qualified driving instructor will display a green badge on the windscreen of their car. This means that they have passed the final part 3 test (ability to give instruction). Driving instructors that display a pink badge on their windscreen have not yet passed the final part 3 test, but are still licensed to give tuition. All approved driving instructors are regularly checked by the DSA.
