The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is the first legislation of its kind. From 26th October 2020, ALL goods vehicles over 12 tonnes will require a permit to drive into Greater London, including vehicles from outside of the UK. Enforced by Transport for London (TfL), the legislation is based on a ‘star rating’ indicating how much a driver can see from the cab in relation to other road users.
It's very easy to find your eligibility on the Tfl's' website.Then enter your vehicle reg and country of registration and it will provide you with your vehicle’s current direct vision star rating. you must ensure your vehicle meets a minimum ‘one-star’ rating.
If you drive in Greater London without the permit you will receive a DVS penalty charge of up to £550 for an operator, and £130 for a driver – enough to take away the profit from any day’s work. The operator fine will be reduced to £275 if paid within 14 days, but it’s much wiser to ensure your fleet is compliant instead of running the gauntlet with TfL.
