Why must you get a Road Safety Authority (RSA) logbook for your 12 EDT driving lesson?
Your RSA logbook is essential and must be brought with you to every one of your 12 EDT driving lessons. It’s a vital record of your progress and is required by law for all learner drivers completing the EDT program.
The logbook is issued by your Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) at the start of your very first EDT lesson. Throughout the course, your instructor will record your progress, provide feedback, and confirm whether you’ve met the objectives for each lesson.
Once all 12 EDT lessons are completed, your ADI will stamp the appropriate section of the logbook to verify completion. Please note: only the instructor who conducted a lesson can sign or comment on it. If you change instructors during the process, your new ADI cannot sign off on lessons completed with your previous instructor.
