The Driving Standards Agency was established as an executive agency of the Department of Transport on 1 April 1990. Since 2002 it has been an executive agency of the Department for Transport (DfT).
Its main function is to ensure the application of driving standards throughout Great Britain (in Northern Ireland the same role is carried out by the Driver & Vehicle Agency: DVA). It aims to do this by promoting road safety through improved standards, testing drivers and riders fairly and efficiently, maintaining the registers of Approved Driving Instructors and Large Goods Vehicle Inspectors, and supervising Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) for learner motorcyclists. The Agency is responsible for the practical driving test centres across Great Britain and for carrying out theory and practical driving tests.
