DSA Direct news direct to you when you want it

The Driving Standards Agency now offers you a convenient way to keep up to date with news and changes by email alerts. You can sign up to DSA Direct, free of charge, and get email alerts about specific topic areas that DSA deals with.

Alerts are available for:

• news and social media • learning to drive and ride • driver trainers • consultations • events • the Highway Code

And because we know how difficult it can be keeping on top of your emails, we’ve given you the option of getting emails:

• as soon as we send them • as a single ‘daily digest’ • as a single ‘weekly digest’

Signing up is simple:

1. Go to dsa.gov.uk and click on DSA Direct

2. Enter your email address

3. Choose your subscription options

4. Let us know where in Great Britain you are and what type of tests you’re interested in (optional)

5. Choose which alerts you’d like to get from the Highways

Because of new government rules, DSA is moving some of its website content to the Department for Transport website - dft.gov.uk.

These new rules meant that we had to relocate and redesign our old My DSA email alert service.

Under Data Protection Act rules you have to choose to opt-in to DSA Direct. So if you’d subscribed to My DSA, you need to sign up to DSA Direct to continue getting email alerts.
