DS Appointed ER Validated IT Supplier

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) earned recognition scheme was officially launched on the 24th April 2018.

Further to the participation of several of our clients in the pilot, we are pleased to announce that Distinctive Systems has been appointed a validated IT Supplier for the scheme.

The DVSA has classified a total of nine coach operators as founder members of the earned recognition scheme.  Of these, seven gained their acceptance onto the scheme using our Vehicle Maintenance System. 

From the DVSA earned recognition website:

DVSA earned recognition is a new way for organisations with lorries, buses and coaches to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards.

They’ll regularly share performance information with DVSA, such as their MOT initial pass rates and if their drivers have broken drivers’ hours rules.

In return, their vehicles are less likely to be stopped for roadside inspections, saving them time and money.  DVSA will still stop vehicles if they’re in an obviously dangerous condition.

This will allow DVSA to target more of its enforcement activities at the high-risk traffic who put other road users in danger.
