Voluntary code of practice? Hmm

The Government today issued a new voluntary code of practice

https://www.gov.uk/adi-voluntary-code-of-practice

Seems a little in depth for a voluntary code?

Advise a pupil when to apply for a theory test, well that's sensible except many have already taken one prior to lessons, advise a pupil when to apply for a practical test, yep most ADI's do that too, however to me there is a critical mistake in this line

'they will advise a client when to apply for their theory and practical driving tests, taking account of local waiting times and forecast of the client’s potential for achieving the driving test pass standard'

So teaching to pass a test then?

Endorsed by the national associations, so they do believe we should be teaching for a test pass, and so do the DSA based on this code, so where in this is safe driving for life, NDRS, driver responsibility, this is quality control, trading conditions, customer service.

So if we were to believe for one moment that coaching, or coaching styles have been taken on board by the DFT, then why does the contract, say the instructor agrees, but there is no facility for the client agrees? Two way street, a coaching contract requires trust, openness and commitment from two parties not one.

Someone totally missed the point with this code, it needs to go to the shredder and start again.
