We agree with this proposal Proposal 23. We agree with this proposal Proposal 24. We agree with this proposal Proposal 25. We agree with this proposal Proposal 26. We consider the problems of poor seating will be overcome as more modern vehicles are used for test purposes. Proposal 27. We are unable to comment on this proposal Proposal 28. Whilst we agree in principle to this proposal, we are concerned with the details outlined in Appendix B. It is our view that the period of experience should be predominantly in the category of vehicle to be supervised. For example 2 years experience category ‘C’ plus 1 year category ‘D’ for someone who is to accompany category ‘C’ not the other way round as is being suggested. Proposal 29. We agree with this proposal but would expect minimum safety standards to be put into place to ensure there is no safety risk and that the instructor is capable of taking control of the vehicle in an emergency situation. Proposal 30. We agree with this proposal Proposal 31. We agree with this proposal We are, of course happy for our views on these matters to be published in the normal way. Yours sincerely, David Williams, MBE FIRSO Chief Executive © Copyright GEM Motoring Assist 2005 Top of Page |
