Part 2 Ability to drive

Better assessment of driving abilityThe way that the ADI part 2 test works will change to reflect the changes being made to the car driving test on 4 December 2017.
Trainee instructors will have to demonstrate the skills they’ll be teaching to learner drivers. The changes include:

• driving independently for around 20 minutes (an increase from the current 10 minutes) while following directions from a sat nav or a series of traffic signs
• doing 2 of 4 possible reversing manoeuvres:
  • parallel park at the side of the road
  • reverse into a parking bay and drive out
  • drive into a parking bay and reverse out
  • pull up on the right-hand side of the road, reverse for around 2 car lengths, and rejoin the traffic
• answering 2 vehicle safety questions while driving - for example, showing the examiner how they’d use the car’s cruise control

Part 3 Ability to teach

More realistic assessment of teaching abilityThe ADI part 3 test will change to become a much more realistic assessment of a trainee instructor’s ability to teach a pupil.
In the current ADI part 3 test, trainee instructors provide training to a driving examiner role-playing the part of a pupil.
When the test changes, they’ll give a driving lesson to a real pupil while an examiner assesses their ability to tailor the training to that pupil’s learning goals and needs.
The examiner will:

• look for evidence that the trainee instructor meets the national standard for driver and rider training
• mark 17 areas of competence in 3 categories - lesson planning, risk management and teaching and learning skills

The change will bring the ADI part 3 test in line with the ADI standards check, which every ADI has to take at least once every 4 years to stay qualified.
