The Department for Transport is seeking views on the exemptions for certain types of heavier vehicle from operator licensing rules. Its aim is to make sure that the regulations are fair and support road safety.

According to the document ” Goods Vehicle Operator Licensing Exemptions Consultation (2014)-2“, the proposal is to: ‘remove the exemption covering vehicles falling within the definition of the engineering plant exemption for the purpose of operator licencing that deliver materials as well as processing those materials (this includes volumetric concrete mixers).’
