Vision and Mission

DSA’s vision is “Safe Driving for Life”. The overall mission is to contribute to the public service agreement objective to achieve 40% reduction in riders and drivers killed or seriously injured in road accidents, in the age group up to 24 years, by 2010 compared with the average for 1994-98.

Our contribution centres on:

* Setting standards for drivers, riders and instructors
* Driver education and the provision of learning resources
* Registering and supervising quality assured instructors
* Modern, effective and efficient assessments conducted as computer based and practical tests.
The Register of approved driving instructors (ADI) was set up in the interests of road safety in order to maintain and improve the standard of car driving instruction available to the general public.

The DSA also ensures that the public can expect an acceptable standard of tuition from those registered as driving instructors with the DSA.
