Like you say, maybe it's good to have something for people to blame when they fail... :) Quota rumours have been around for ages.

I believed at the time that independant driving was a good thing and in many ways I still do. However has it made the test any harder? I don't think so. None of my pupils have ever had any trouble with it and it is quite easy. So I don't think it has achieved what it set out to do. It’s interesting to revisit this topic two years later.

I had to continue because I had paid up front. The silly offers of some driving schools are effectively making our industry into a mickey mouse operation. I wish the DSA would do something about it.

Quotas is a made up thing by instructors. Why? Because it gets them off the hook! Pupils fail because they are not good enough. It's as simple as that. So who is to blame for the pupil not being good enough? Yes you've guessed it, the instructor. So by them blaming the examiner for reaching his quota the instructor is simply passing the buck.
