So because it's difficult it's better not to bother trying? While I agree there's a potential conflict of interest, how is it so different to getting your MoT done? Offer the choice of sitting the test with a DSA examiner who's not allowed to teach if you're that bothered.
Jon; I think the whole idea is that DSA examiners would not be involved. As far as potential ADI conflict is concerned, you could be required to be assessed by an ADI from whom you'd not had any coaching.

These retraining sessions would not be assessments, let alone tests. The intention would be for them to be a positive self-improvement process, and would probably be accepted as such by most people. While it might not be obvious how this would deal with older drivers, in practice no doubt ADI's would make appropriate suggestions to those they thought should give up, at least adding weight to the comments of family members. In addition, I would require simple medical tests including tests of cognitive ability on a regular basis for drivers over 70.
