 | DVS requirements to change from October 2024The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and HGV Safety Permit Scheme for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) require operators of lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight to obtain a safety permit before entering and operating in most of Greater London. Otherwise, you may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The DVS requirements change from 28 October 2024. The Direct Vision Standard and HGV Safety Permit Scheme are part of the Mayor of London's Vision Zero plan to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries on London's transport network by 2041. The DVS measures how much a HGV driver can see directly through their cab windows. This is then expressed as a star rating from zero (limited) to five (good). The star rating is fixed and dependent on the vehicle design, as it indicates the level of risk to road users such as people walking and cycling. |
BSIS and MOIS systems are now required as part of the Direct Vision Standard 2024 updateThe Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) operates at speeds less than 30km/h (18 mph) notifying the driver of pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and other objects by providing visual and audible warnings. The Moving Off Information System (MOIS) operates at speeds of 0-5 km/h (0-3 mph), providing a visual and audible warning to the driver if a vulnerable road user is detected at the front of the vehicle.  |

Direct Vision Standard FAQs
-
Why is DVS important?
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) holds vital importance in enhancing road safety by improving driver visibility, particularly around larger vehicles like trucks and buses, thereby reducing blind spots and the potential for accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists. When using a vehicle tracking system in conjunction with DVS-compliant regulations, fleet managers help to better identify areas of improvement for safer driving.
-
What happens if my vehicle doesn’t meet the minimum star rating?
If your vehicle has a star rating of fewer than three stars by October 2024, you’ll need to equip your HGV with the necessary safe system features such as additional cameras, monitors, and sensors. Failure to comply may lead to the issuing of a Penalty Charge Notice.
-
Will the minimum star rating requirements change over time?
The minimum required star rating for HGVs is expected to increase over time to further promote road safety. The next update to the DVS will take place in October 2024, after which the minimum star rating required for HGVs will be raised to three stars.
-
How do I check my vehicle’s star rating?
Before applying for a safety permit, you’ll need to check your vehicle’s current star rating. You can do so by contacting the vehicle manufacturers directly. Operators can also check through the TfL website by entering the vehicle details such as the make, model, and year of manufacture.
