Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Cameras & Compliance Suppliers & Fitters

If you operate HGVs inside the M25 you will need a DVS permit or you will get a £550 fine per incident.

Launching in October 2019 the Direct Vision Standard has been designed to make the streets of London safer for pedestrians and cyclists. The Standard comes into force 12 months later and affects ALL 12 tonne and above vehicles that enter London, with a £550 per day fine for non-compliance.

From October 1st, 2020 ALL vehicles over 12 tonne GWT will need to have a HGV Safety Permit to drive into the controlled area. To get a permit almost all your HGV's will need TfL's recommended safety equipment installing on them, including DVS compliant cameras.

Postponement of enforcement of new DVS rules in London
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has asked Transport for London to delay the enforcement of new rules for London's Direct Vision Standard (DVS) for at least four months after their introduction this October 2020.
"We recognise that the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the road freight sector in ways which could make compliance with the new standards more challenging. Though companies have been preparing for the new rules for some time, with many vehicles already compliant, the pandemic has disrupted supply chains and has placed additional demands on the industry. Postponing enforcement will allow the freight industry to focus on its core operations during the pandemic."
"We remain committed to working together to tackle some of London's biggest challenges, including road danger and air quality. Tightened emissions standards for buses, coaches, lorries and specialist vehicles - in line with the tough requirements in place for the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone - will help clean up London's air and save lives. Meanwhile the DVS will reduce danger to vulnerable road users by introducing a safety permit system for HGVs, assigning vehicles a star rating based on how much the driver can see directly through their cab window."
"Although the new rules under both schemes will still legally come into force in October, no charges will be payable or enforced for non-compliant vehicles under those new standards until the end of February 2021. The new date for the start of enforcement will be kept under review."
