The DVSA is to make several changes to its OCRS system, which include removing the function that sees an operator’s score go straight to red if a single serious defect is discovered.
The changes, which are expected to be introduced early next year, also include revisions to the number of points given for various types of infringement; the inclusion of the results of traffic examiner visits or fleet assessments into the scoring system; and filters to ensure that points are not counted twice if a fixed penalty and prohibition are issued for a roadworthiness offence.
