Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the RSA has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service, including the training requirements associated with qualifying and registering as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).

Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the question to the Authority for direct, detailed reply. Please contact my private office if a response is not received within ten working days.
