STC Statutory Document Summaries

28 Apr 2026

The Traffic Commissioners for Great Britain have published Statutory Document Summaries. These do not replace the full documents, but they are to help operator licence holders, transport managers, applicants, and vocational drivers to more easily understand the requirements of operator licensing and driver conduct.

The Senior Traffic Commissioner’s Statutory Documents explain the legal basis and the way traffic commissioners will approach the exercise of their statutory functions. They explain how the Senior Traffic Commissioner believes traffic commissioners should interpret the law relating to the application of the statutory documents.

 It is hoped that the summaries will provide a readily digestible guide to what the Senior Traffic Commissioner expects of someone in the industry, whether they are an operator licence holder, transport manager, applicant or professional driver. They should be read in conjunction with the full Statutory Guidance and Directions.
