From 1/1/2014 anyone who has a PSV or HGV automatic licence will be able to drive a manual psv or hgv providing they have a manual car licence. However, they must renew their licence to show the new entitlement. This is to bring the UK and several other EU states into line on driving entitlements.

The Driving Standards Agency is calling for evidence about the effectiveness of the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).

The European Commission has asked for evidence about potential changes, including some areas with potentially major implications for Great Britain.

The commission has also asked about:

the case for standardisation of Driver CPC across the EU
using Driver CPC to regulate young people driving large vehicles through more gradual access
which drivers should be covered by Driver CPC in the future, with options ranging from just professional lorry and bus drivers to more groups including people with a C and D driving licence, and possibly van and taxi drivers
