DCPC Limitations

When the DCPC kicks in in 2014, is it going to affect only class 1&2 drivers or will it affect anything on tacho, ie, anything over 3.5 tons?

Any driver using a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes when being driven commercially (not privately)

Unless they come under PCV all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are LGV

Crikey, that’s a hell of a lot of drivers :open_mouth:

I load a lot of 3.5t tippers run mostly by building contractors and I reckon many of these will be caught out by 2014: They have a hard enough grasp of maximum gross weights never mind dcpc.

Dcpc has already started for new drivers as of 2009

True, suppose that cuts the figures somewhat.
