摘要：	DVSA has summarised last year's developments. "For heavy vehicle testing, we've focused on brake testing, developing a digital account for ATFs and continuing with the heavy vehicle testing review recommendations," it said. Back in February, it published a blog post on a subject which has been a major theme of 2022 - brake testing. Policy specialist Richard Clements explained how to understand a brake test report. DVSA also introduced the local appeals process for lorry, trailer and bus/coach annual test (MOT) results. Vehicle operators can ask DVSA to review part of a test or the test result, without having to make a statutory appeal. In May it updated the HGV and PSV manuals following a review and feedback from stakeholders. The next month, the first early adopter sites began testing digital accounts for authorised testing facilities (ATFs). Project leader Gordon Thomson explained the project's developments and its benefits for ATFs and other pre-funded account holders. In September, Clements explained why vehicles and trailers need to be laden when brought for test, and reminded readers that mandatory laden brake testing would apply for all vehicles and trailers (unless exempt) from 1 January 2023. In November, head of vehicle policy and engineering, Neil Barlow, gave a progress update on the heavy vehicle testing review, and explained what its new approach to scheduling testing hours could look like. DVSA also confirmed that free rolling tyres (FRTs) fitted to front steering axles will fail the annual test from April 2023. Before then, FRTs fitted to steering axles may be issued with an advisory at annual test.
