First of all the letters DSA stand for Driving Standards Agency & they are the agency that is responsible for overseeing all tests of vehicles including both the theory test & practical driving tests. The driving examiner on your practical driving test is employed by the DSA and all professional driving instructors have to be registered with the DSA.
.
Driving tests can be taken anytime after you have passed your theory test by law. In reality though you should not take your practical test until you are ready to pass it. Students get very excited when they pass their theory test, & quite rightly so, it is one step closer to their full driving licence. But most are a long way off passing their driving test, especially if the theory test has been taken to early. Learner drivers are recommended by the DSA to complete enough driving lessons first in order to be confident about their standard of driving before they take their theory test. Why you might ask? The theory is just theory nothing to do with driving a car for the test. Well, you would be wrong to think that here are two good reasons.
You may think that 2 years is plenty of time to pass the practical test, not so. I know personally of a few learner drivers who's theory has expired more than once, or is about to expire.
The practical test in driving examines your skills at car control & also your knowledge of the Highway Code which you should have studied for your theory. If you are a learner driver who has studied for the theory test by using only the CD's and question bank you are in for a big surprise on your driving test.

The practical test show me tell me questions are the first part of your test. You will be asked by the examiner two questions about the car vehicle checks that you should carry out on a regular basis.
In the next part of your practical test you will be asked to start your car engine and move away safely. You can be asked in this move away process to either park your car into one of the test centre parking bays [if any exisit] or parallel park alongside a car parked on the road. That then would constitute one of your manouevres.
If the test centre you are using has a car park then there are 4 manouevres you could be asked to complete.
In reality you will normally be asked to carry out two manouevres, but there is nothing in the regulations to state that you cannot complete all 4. Over the last 5 years I have had 3 students who completed 3 manouevres and 1 student who completed all 4 manouevres.
The road & traffic driving forms the largest part of your practical test, including possibly an emergency stop [1 in 3 students will be asked to carry out an emergency stop].
At the end of your test you will be told the result and asked if you would like to know your driving faults, whether you pass or fail.
