Choosing Safely

How to Find a Driving Instructor Near Me in Wirral

A qualified driving instructor must pass a rigorous three-part exam, then maintain the DVSA's high standards year after year. Here's how to make sure you're learning with the real thing in Wallasey, Wirral or Liverpool.

Know the badges

Some instructors are still training and hold a trainee licence, known as a pink badge — they haven't yet completed all of their qualifying exams, and may never do so. A fully Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) displays a green badge in their windscreen. Always check for it before you get in the car.

Beware of illegal instructors

If an "instructor" doesn't display a pink or green badge, offers lessons at unusually low prices, or won't provide business cards or a logbook, they may be operating illegally — putting you and other road users at risk. Report concerns to the DVSA with as much detail as you can provide.
