Since March 2021, all vehicles over 12 tonne GWT that enter London will need to be DVS Compliant.
Fleet operators that are not compliant risk a £550 fine per day.
The standard is focused on safety, meaning non-compliant vehicles will be at a higher risk of seriously injuring or killing a pedestrian or cyclist, should an incident occur.
Basically, a DVS Kit is like a reversing camera with sensors and an audible alarm but on the passenger side of the lorry.
To be fully DVS compliant, you will need to ensure you have adequate mirrors and signage, along with a fully operational camera monitoring system combined with audible vehicle manoeuvring alerts.
