The Office of the Traffic Commissioner reminds operators that a new HGV Safety Permit based on the new Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is now required for all HGVs over 12 tonnes driving within greater London.DVS is a key part of the Mayor of London's Vision Zero Plan to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries on London's streets. The DVS operates in the same area as the existing Low Emission Zone (LEZ).It uses a star rating system to rate HGVs based on how much a driver can see directly through the HGV cab windows, ranking from zero star (the lowest level of direct vision) to five stars (highest level of direct vision).To qualify for a permit, HGVs will require a minimum of a one-star rating. Vehicles rated zero star will only be granted a permit if they are fitted with 'safe system' measures. |
