🇬🇧 UK DVSA Aligned

DVSA Compliance

Drive Round App is built specifically for the UK driving test system. Every feature is designed to align with DVSA standards, ADI professional practice, and the official learner driver framework.

DVSA's 5-level competency framework

Progress tracking uses the DVSA-defined 5-level driving competency scale — from 'Prompted' to 'Independent' — across all 27 required driving skills and 8 categories. This mirrors the official Driver's Record used by ADIs.

ADI-only instructor accounts

Instructor accounts require a valid DVSA ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) or PDI (Potential Driving Instructor) licence number. This ensures learners are only linked to qualified professionals.

AI reports supplement, not replace, instructors

AI-generated lesson summaries are explicitly labelled as automated analysis and clearly state they do not replace ADI professional judgement. The app is designed to help learners recall and act on their instructor's verbal feedback — not to provide driving advice independently.

DVSA test centre exam routes

Exam routes are generated for all DVSA-approved driving test centres across the UK, based on known road types, manoeuvre requirements, and publicly available information. Routes are community-verified and date-stamped.

No autonomous driving advice

The app never tells learners how to drive. It records, transcribes, and summarises what their instructor told them during a lesson. The source of all coaching is always the qualified ADI.

Data consent and privacy

Audio recording requires explicit in-session consent from both the learner and instructor. Recording cannot begin without consent from both parties. This aligns with GDPR and professional coaching standards.

Important disclaimer

Drive Round App is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially approved by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). "DVSA-compliant" refers to our alignment with publicly available DVSA standards and competency frameworks, not to any formal DVSA certification or partnership.
