The DL 25 explained by a retired DVSA examiner

Ever wondered exactly what examiners are thinking when they mark the DL25? 

This is your chance to find out — straight from someone who’s been on the other side of the clipboard.

Join Kathy Higgins & Leanne Condliff for this unique workshop with special guest Ted, a retired DVSA examiner for both Cat B and Cat A tests. Ted will break down how faults are recorded on the DL25 and explain what really separates a minor from a serious or dangerous fault.

✅ What You’ll Explore

Not worthy faults – what they are (and why they don’t get marked).
