I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(6) The
Department of Transport audio records driving assessments, which is available
when required to provide feedback to the
learners. Additionally, assessors provide written feedback to learners
following the assessment. The use of private or third-party cameras
would raise technical, privacy and liability issues.
