Who are the DVSA?

The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) is the government agency responsible for maintaining and improving road safety standards in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 2014 by merging the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). The DVSA oversees various aspects related to driving, cars, and roadworthiness. Some of its key responsibilities include conducting driving tests, setting and enforcing car standards, conducting car inspections, and managing the registration and licensing of cars and drivers. The DVSA also plays a crucial role in regulating and supervising the training of driving instructors and maintaining the national driving and car testing standards.
