Understanding the Direct Vision Standard (DVS)
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS), enforced by Transport for London (TfL) , requires all heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) over 12 tonnes to obtain a permit to operate within Greater London. This mandate applies to both UK-based and international vehicles entering the city. As of October 2024, the DVS has been updated to incorporate the Progressive Safe System (PSS).
Stay Compliant, Stay Ahead
Avoid fines and ensure your vehicles can operate freely in regulated areas. Vehicle Tracking Tech is here to make DVS compliance simple and stress-free.
Non-compliant vehicles operating without a permit can incur daily fines. Compliance systems like cameras and sensors ensure you meet regulations.
DVS STAR RATING SYSTEM
Each vehicle is assigned a ‘star rating’ from 0 to 5, reflecting the driver’s direct line of sight from the cab:
- 0 Stars: Minimal direct vision.
- 5 Stars: Excellent direct vision.
These ratings are determined based on the vehicle’s original design and do not account for any aftermarket safety systems installed. Vehicles with a rating below 3 stars must be equipped with additional safety equipment to qualify for a permit. Operating without a permit can result in substantial daily fines for both operators and drivers.
