DVS: A Timely Reminder as the Deadline Looms (In case you didnt know!)

DVS is a star rating system that assesses a driver’s direct vision from their cab. HGVs with a low DVS rating are more likely to be involved in accidents with cyclists and pedestrians. To improve safety for vulnerable road users, London is about to implement further DVS regulations.

How Does the DVS Apply to Your Fleet?

If you operate HGVs in London, you’ll need to comply with DVS. From late October 2024 onwards, all HGVs will need a minimum three-star DVS rating to obtain a permit to operate in the city. HGVs with a lower rating will need to be retrofitted with safety features.
