New safety standard for hauliers driving in London launches in October

The new Direct Vision Standard safety criteria are designed to meet Transport for London’s (TfL) Progressive Safe System (PSS).

The RHA has an explanatory document which sets out what a Blind Spot Information System and Moving Off Information System should do.

Hauliers should have the PSS kit installed in their vehicles by October 28 after the RHA successfully negotiated for a three-month extension with TfL.

Full details of the scheme and its requirements are also on the TfL website here https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/deliveries-in-london/delivering-safely/direct-vision-in-heavy-goods-vehicles#on-this-page-5
