Transport Minister has announced the intention to create in law two further specific exemptions to Driver CPC (DCPC).
The exemptions are:
1: exempt drivers of a vehicle that is being driven with the permission of the vehicle operator or lessor (as appropriate) and where the following additional conditions are also met:
- within 50 kilometres of the driver’s base
- no goods or passengers are carried and
- driving such vehicles is not the driver’s principal activity
2: exempt vehicles attending a VOSA test centre (including VOSA Authorised Testing Facilities)
These changes will not come into force until after the 10 September 2013. The CPC qualification will require 35 hours of training. From 2013 driving without a valid Driver CPC may invalidate a driver’s insurance policy.
Site-Equip’s drivers have fully completed the Driver CPC. We pride ourselves on having the most qualified staff to deliver you the best service.
