The aim of the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) is to produce a test format that can be applied consistently throughout the U.K. However it can not be exactly the same everywhere.

So Examiners have to take the areas as they find it, but the same standards are applied nationally, with the content of the test varying from area to area. More
Learners driving a car must hold a valid provisional licence. They must be supervised by someone at least 21 years old who holds a full licence and has held one for at least three years.
