FT/D/2025/0424 - [2025] UKFTT 01170 (GRC)

This appeal concerns a decision of the Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors (“the Registrar”) made on 1 April 2025 to refuse the Appellant’s application for a licence to give instruction in driving motor cars on the grounds that the Appellant does not meet the condition in Section 125(3)(e) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 to be considered a ‘fit and proper’ person to be an Approved Driving Instructor (“ADI”) as the Appellant has received a Fixed Penalty of 6 points endorsed on her driving licence for using a mobile phone whilst being in control of a vehicle.

The proceedings were held by video (CVP). The Appellant joined remotely. The Tribunal was satisfied that it was fair and just to conduct the hearing in this way.
