Reuse of DSA information
In order for the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) to ensure that appropriate learning material is available in the retail market to support the learner or novice driver, DSA licences the official DSA theory test question banks and 16 simulated hazard perception test video clips for use by other publishers by way of a Crown Copyright Licence Agreement.
DSA also publishes its own official learning materials but by allowing the use of this copyright material subsequently permits anyone to use the official DSA theory test questions in their products and therefore offers the learner driver more choice. For more information on the types of Crown Copyright Licences available please click on the licence information on the top left hand side of this page.
Information regarding the reuse of The Highway Code or The National Driving or Riding Standards™ can be found at the Office of Public Sector Information’s website, and facilitated by a ’click-use’ licence. For information regarding the reuse of traffic signs please visit dft.gov.uk/trafficsignsimages.
The different types of Crown Copyright licence currently issued can be found under the ’Licence Information’ heading on the left hand side.
