Back in June I mentioned that the DSA and VOSA<\/a> would be merging in 2014. This latest news release from the DSA says that the new single agency will be called the \u201cDriver and Vehicle Standards Agency\u201d. I am assuming it will be known as the DVSA, though this abbreviation is not used in the release.<\/p>\n

Obviously, there is more involved than just a name change (that petty accusation is in the sole domain of the web forum agitator).<\/p>\n

All documents bearing the DSA logo will remain valid until further notice, and ADIs will not need to change their badges until the normal renewal times. Instructors will still be known as \u201cDSA approved ADIs\u201d until further notice. Again, I assume we will become \u201cDVSA approved ADIs\u201d at some stage. No DVSA logo is yet given.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth pointing out \u2013 to the agitators in particular \u2013 that this change is a government thing. It isn\u2019t something the DSA can be blamed for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
