Carly Brookfield

Rev your engines for an action-packed podcast! We discussed recent changes to driving test notice periods, the booking process, and Standards Check grading with our panelists and audience.

In Part One - the DVSA's plan to extend the waiting period for those who failed their car test has caused quite a stir amongst pupils and trainers. The media was buzzing about it, and our panel and audience had some fiery takes to share.

Part Two - the DVSA wants to raise the bar on Standards Check pass rates, causing concern amongst trainers hovering close to the pass line. We dove into the regulator's rationale for the change, industry reactions, and what more could be done to improve trainer standards.

Featuring DIA CEO Carly Brookfield, regular panellists Chris Bensted and Graham Hooper and views from our audience of trainers themselves!
