Approved Driving Instructors listed

The Road Safety Authority has published its first list of Approved Driving Instructors, under new laws which regulate driving instruction.

Learner drivers looking for their nearest Approved Driving Instructor can visit www.rsa.ie or www.drivingtest.ie or www.theorytest.ie to download the list.

Only driving instructors who meet the standard set by the RSA can become Approved Driving Instructors.

ADIs must pass an extended driver theory test, an extended practical driving test and an ‘Ability to Instruct Test.’ An ADI must also show that they are tax compliant and be able to provide a tax clearance certificate. All ADI’s have been through the Garda vetting process.

The regulation process applies to individual instructors and not to driving schools.
