The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is a trading fund with turnover of over £152 million for the year 2006/07. Income for the year 2007/08 is expected to be in the region of £165 million, fully funded by fee income and revenue from non-statutory activities.
DSA employs 2,653 staff, of which some 1,911 are driving examiners. In 2006/07 the Agency conducted over 1.8 million practical tests for car drivers, 101,000 vocational tests and over 83,000 motorcycle rider tests. Over 1.5 million theory tests were carried out at 158 centres. At the end of the year there were 41,507 people on the Register of Approved Driving Instructors.

Great! You’ve passed your driving test – now you can drive on your own at last. But it doesn’t stop there; this is just the end of the beginning… Getting your own car will give you the independence you need. For a new driver, the cost of insurance can be sky high.
And the reason for this?
Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first two years of passing their test than at any other time in their driving career. Age doesn’t matter – it’s basically down to a lack of driving experience. That’s where PASS PLUS comes in!
