PSV RIGS COVERED
• The Royal Society of Arts, which is the examining board for the Certificate of Professional Competence, has announced that the new PSV legislation contained in the Transport Act 1985 should be in the syllabus for June examinations.
Although the legislation is not yet implemented, questions about it can arise in the June examinations. This affects only the PSV syllabus, not the HGV. Questions will not be set on the transitional arrangements (October 86February 87) nor on road service licensing, which is to be abolished in October. An article in CM December 7, 1985 reviewed the Transport Act 1985, Other impending changes in legislation such as the new drivers' hours regulations will not be examined until at least three months after implementation.
