What is the Direct Vision Standard?
A clear overview of DVS, who it affects, and how a Progressive Safe System can help.
What is the Direct Vision Standard?
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is a scheme aimed at improving the safety of heavy goods vehicles operating in certain areas. It focuses on what the driver can directly see through their cab windows, with a rating system based on the vehicle's direct vision performance.
Which operators it applies to
DVS requirements typically apply to operators of heavy goods vehicles over a certain weight threshold operating within designated zones. The specific criteria and affected areas may change over time, so we encourage operators to confirm the latest requirements with the relevant authority.
Why compliance matters
Meeting DVS requirements helps improve road safety for all road users, particularly vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. Compliance may also be necessary to operate within certain areas without facing restrictions or penalties.
How a PSS supports compliance
A Progressive Safe System (PSS) is designed to further improve vehicle safety through additional technology such as camera monitoring, blind spot detection and audible warning systems. Where applicable, a PSS can support operators in meeting enhanced safety requirements.
This information is for general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. We encourage all operators to confirm the latest requirements directly with the relevant authority before proceeding.
