What do you need?
Camera Monitoring System (CMS)
A fully operational CMS must be fitted to the nearside of the vehicle, to eliminate any remaining blind spots along the nearside regardless of whether there are mirrors fitted. Operators are required to ensure all equipment is fully operational - this is achieved via the Fastview360 Portal.
Moving Off Information System (MOIS)
MOIS must be fitted to the front of the vehicle to warn the driver of the presence of a vulnerable road user, in accordance with the technical specifications for the PSS including escalating visual and audible warnings.
Blind Spot Information System
The system must give warning to the driver of the presence of a vulnerable road user. Full coverage down the nearside of the vehicle while only activating to pedestrians is achieved with a clear danger zone tablet. We cover up to 20 meters which is over 10 meters more coverage than the standard PSS regulation.
Class V and VI Mirrors
Class V and VI mirrors, or a camera monitoring system that replaces the mirrors, or a combination of both, must be fitted to the front and nearside of the vehicle. These should be fitted in compliance with UNECE Regulation 46
Audible Warning System
An audible vehicle manoeuvring warning must be fitted to provide an adequate audible warning to vulnerable road users when a vehicle is turning left. Left hand drive vehicles should notify of turning right
Pictural Warning Stickers
Alongside a Direct Vision Standard for London, Transport for London are working with other European cities and the European Union to push for long-term improvements by mandating direct vision in EU vehicle design and safety regulations.
What is Direct Vision
To meet '1 star', at least the head and shoulders of 99% of the European adult population must be seen with an 'acceptable' distance at the front and side.
The 'acceptable' distance is set to where people become directly visible to within the area covered by mirrors and indirect vision becomes complemented by direct vision - 4.5m to the near side (Class V mirror) and 2m to the front (Class VI mirror) as per UNECE reg 46 and 0.6m to the offside.

Do you require a HGV safety permit?
HGVs more than 12 tonnes GVW only (not cars, vans, buses or coaches).
Enforced throughout the Greater London area (see above map), 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
See map of roads affected by the HGV safety permit scheme with enforcement taking place with the London-wide area.
