The London Councils’ Transport and Environment Committee has confirmed a three-month extension to the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) grace period, taking it to 4 May 2025. See Logistics UK’s response from Chris Yarsley, Senior Policy Manager below: “The decision to double the grace period for the implementation of the next stage of the Mayor’s Direct Vision Standard (DVS), via the introduction of the Progressive Safe Standard, is welcome news for London’s hauliers, who deliver everything the capital needs, every day. “After intensive negotiations between TfL and Logistics UK, AICES and RHA, we welcome the decision that provides our members with the time, and peace of mind, to ensure they can comply with the stricter standards. Our members remain committed to the very highest standards of road safety, and the extension will ensure that there is sufficient time for hauliers to source and fit the required equipment. “We would also like to thank London Councils for ensuring that when further phases of DVS are introduced, TfL will be required to provide additional information to smooth their introduction, namely information on real-world testing of equipment; measures to mitigate phase two equipment obsolescence; details of equipment and fitters’ availability and mitigating sensory overload of drivers. “It is nevertheless important for operators to continue their preparations regarding the new DVS standard because the regulations will still change on 28 October. The London Councils’ decision does not change this date, but it does provide a sensible grace period to ensure operators can comply without incurring financial penalties.”
