Learner drivers have a right to know.


Ninety-seven percent of AA members say learner drivers should have the right to be told if their driving instructor is still learning the job,according a recent survey.


The AA is demanding government action to force driving schools to come clean when they use trainee instructors to teach young people to drive.


The call comes as the survey reveals that motorists have serious concernes over the safety of new drivers that have been taught by trainee instructors and the overwhelming rejection of the practice of driving schools charging full price for lessons with a trainee.


Up to 7,000 trainees are believed to be working with driving schools across the U.K. Driving schools can place a learner with a trainee instructor and charge full lesson prices without telling the pupil or their parents that the instructor is not fully qualified.
