ADI Part 2

LDLT Driving School

As of yesterday, Monday April 4th, the DVSA have announced that ‘Eco safe driving’ will be become a fault on an ADI part 2 test, not an ‘educational assessment’.

The following is a communication from the DVSA.

 

Fuel efficient driving will become a driving fault instead of being an educational assessment on ADI part 2 tests from the 4th April.

 

The change is being brought in to encourage new ADIs to learn the skills they need to help teach new drivers the skills to drive with economy and the environment in mind.

You can find out more about the aspects of fuel efficient driving on GOV.UK which include:
