The EU Directive on roadworthiness testing includes the requirement for ‘fast tractors’ used for commercial haulage to be subject to roadworthiness testing. We are seeking views on how to implement a testing regime for these vehicles.

Also, we are consulting on a number of legislative changes to roadworthiness testing, arising from the Directive. These changes apply to all classes of vehicle.
