The Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA or DVANI) is a government agency of the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment. The agency is responsible for setting and enforcing standards for drivers and vehicles, registering drivers, and the issuing of licences.〔(Driver licensing ), nidirect. Retrieved 25 October 2015.〕 It was created in early 2007 through the merger of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Northern Ireland (DVLNI) and the Driver and Vehicle Testing Agency (DVTA), and was responsible for vehicle tax and registration in Northern Ireland until 2014, when this role was transferred to the UK-wide Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.〔(Vehicle tax and registration ), nidirect. Retrieved 25 October 2015.〕 Standards for drivers and vehicles in the rest of the UK are set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. ==Driver and vehicle testing== Previously the responsibility of the DVTA, the DVA is responsible for the testing of both drivers, in the form of theory and practical driving tests, and vehicles, primarily through the MOT test. The standards and form of these tests is the same as in the rest of the United Kingdom, where they are performed by the DSA for driving tests and the VOSA for vehicles. Unlike in Great Britain, where MOT tests can be performed by authorised garages, in Northern Ireland all MOT tests must be undertaken at one of the fifteen DVA test centres. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Driver and Vehicle Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
