What is the Direct Vision Standard?
Before entering and operating in most of Greater London, operators of lorries above 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight are required to get a safety permit under the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and HGV safety permit schemes for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). If not, a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) can be sent to you.

EU’s General Safety Regulation requires heavy trucks to use advanced safety systems and improved cab designs to boost road safety for all vehicles.
