7 Feb 2020

DECLARE A PUBLIC SERVICE VEHICLE (PSV) OR A HEAVY GOODS VEHICLE (HGV) DOES NOT NEED A SPEED LIMTER

 

You must declare if a public service vehicle (PSV) or heavy goods vehicle (HGV) is exempt from needing a speed limiter when you take it for its annual test (MOT).

 

Details:

This form (available via the link below) is used at an annual test if a PSV or HGV appears to require a speed limiter but the presenter wishes to declare it exempt.

 

PSV or HGV speed limiter exemptions can be granted if the vehicle:

•        has been modified so as not to be capable of relevant speed

•        is incapable of relevant speed by its original design

•        is exempt by emissions approval

•        has a particular use
