Direct Vision Standard
Introduced in 2020, the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is a legislation that requires all goods vehicles weighing more than 12 tonnes to possess a permit to drive in Greater London. Enforced by Transport for London (TfL), the permit is based on a vehicle’s ‘star rating’, indicating how much a driver can see from the cab in relation to other road users. The rating (0-5) is given on how the vehicle left the production line and will not take into account any aftermarket safety systems that have been fitted. HGVs that do not meet the minimum star rating have to be equipped with a series of vehicle safety measures to improve and aid the driver’s indirect vision prior to applying for the permit. Non-compliant HGVs are banned from entering Greater London, with daily fines for both operators and drivers without permits. The minimum star rating requirement for the Direct Vision Standard will increase from one to three stars in October 2024. This means that vehicles that fall short of the star rating will need to be equipped with extra safety equipment to obtain a permit. Previously, the permit for extra equipment was called a Safe Permit, but from October 2024 that will change and be known as the Progressive Safe System (PSS). The PSS requires the latest advancements in technology and will mean that some operators will need to replace their existing equipment with new technology.

Vehicle operators need to contact their vehicle manufacturer to find out what their DVS star rating is. There is currently no published list available. Operators will need the VIN number of the HGV to hand. Click the button below and complete the form by giving us the registration and VIN number of your trucks over 12 tonnes and we will contact the manufacturer on your behalf.

Enforcement
The scheme will be implemented by a decriminalised Traffic Regulation Order, meaning a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) can be issued. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras will detect a vehicle which will be checked with TfL’s permit database. All vehicles must have a permit, regardless of star rating. Operators/hauliers without a permit may be issued a PCN of £550 and £130 for the driver, even if the vehicle is five star rated.
How to apply for a permit
The permit is free of charge and there is no requirement to display anything in the vehicle. To apply for a permit, you need to access the TfL online application form. The pre-registration period for HGV safety permits under the DVS 2 (Progressive Safe System) will open in June 2024.
