DIRECT VISION STANDARD (DVS) What is it, what does it aim to achieve, where will DVS be rolled out and what do road transport HGV operators need to do? The benefits of London’s Direct Vision Standard Improving cycle safety is a move to be embraced, as organisations like RoSPA5 have in recent years done much to highlight the dangers. Despite HGVs comprising just 4% of London’s traffic, they have been involved in around 20% of accidents in which cyclists have lost their lives, many where a truck and trailer have been turning left at a junction or have passed too close to a cyclist – the latter perhaps partly exacerbated by outdated road layouts, although this is another discussion in its own right. The DVS specifically targets improving truck and trailer blind spots and offers some leeway in that safety improvements can be achieved by mirrors and cameras or just by the former in the case of systems such as MirrorCam from Mercedes/Daimler, as seen on the Actros truck units Tiger Trailers’ customers Dextra Group and Wren Kitchens operate, for example.
