Senior Traffic Commissioner Statutory Documents

The Senior Traffic Commissioner for Great Britain issues Statutory Guidance and Statutory Directions to the eight Traffic Commissioners appointed to oversee each of the eight traffic areas, or regions, that for the purpose of issuing operator licences and ensuring legal compliance, Great Britain is divided into.
These documents explain the legal basis and the manner in which Traffic Commissioners must approach the exercise of their statutory functions.
They set out the core framework, standards, and legal compliance expectations for the holders of Goods Vehicle and Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) operator licences,
and as such should be considered essential reading for transport managers, and drivers.
