Tot ce trebuie să știți despre modificările aduse CPC pentru șoferi

Creat: 02.12.2024

Actualizat: 02.12.2024

La 3 decembrie 2024, modificările aduse Certificatului de competență profesională pentru conducători auto (CPC) vor intra pe deplin în vigoare. Noul CPC urmărește să ofere o mai mare flexibilitate șoferilor care revin în profesie și celor care urmează cursuri de formare obligatorii. Analizăm în detaliu modificările viitoare și impactul pe care acestea îl vor avea asupra conducătorilor auto.

Ce este CPC pentru șoferi?

Introdus în 2007, CPC este o calificare obligatorie pentru șoferii profesioniști din Regatul Unit și UE care doresc să conducă o serie de vehicule grele, cum ar fi vehiculele grele, vehiculele ușoare, autobuzele și autocarele.

Șoferii trebuie să treacă patru teste:

  • Teoria

  • Studiu de caz

  • Practic

  • Demonstrație privind siguranța vehiculului.

Odată promovat, CPC are o durată de cinci ani și trebuie reînnoit prin efectuarea a 35 de ore de formare periodică în cei cinci ani.

De ce a existat o consultare cu privire la CPC pentru conducători auto?

Guvernul britanic a dorit să înțeleagă eficiența CPC pentru conducători auto. A făcut acest lucru solicitând șoferilor, formatorilor și altor părți să răspundă la un sondaj. Guvernul s-a concentrat pe două domenii principale: îmbunătățirea alegerii conducătorilor auto și atragerea unui număr mai mare de conducători auto în industrie - de exemplu, facilitarea obținerii unui permis în Regatul Unit pentru conducătorii auto cu calificări străine.

Ce modificări intră în vigoare?

Modificările aduse CPC pentru șoferi sunt împărțite în următoarele categorii:

CPC internațional:

CPC internațional pentru conducători auto este noul nume pentru modul în care funcționa CPC pentru conducători auto anterior. Se aplică următoarele:

  • Șoferii trebuie să urmeze 35 de ore de formare CPC la fiecare cinci ani.

  • Cursurile trebuie să dureze cel puțin șapte ore.

  • Dacă un curs este împărțit pe parcursul unei zile, șoferul trebuie să îl finalizeze în două zile consecutive.

  • Șoferilor li se permite să efectueze un total de 12 ore de e-learning.

CPC național pentru șoferi

National Driver CPC oferă mai multă flexibilitate pentru cei care doresc să conducă în Regatul Unit. Șoferii pot lua fie:

  • 35 de ore de formare la fiecare cinci ani.

  • O combinație de 35 de ore de formare National Driver CPC și International Driver CPC la fiecare cinci ani.

Flexibilitatea înseamnă că:

  • Formarea trebuie să dureze cel puțin 3 ore și 30 de minute - furnizorii de formare pot oferi cursuri mai lungi.

  • Nu este necesar să fie finalizat în două zile consecutive dacă este un curs fracționat - furnizorii de cursuri pot stabili propriile limite de timp.

  • Formarea poate fi e-learning.

  • Șoferii pot efectua 12 ore de e-learning în cadrul celor 35 de ore totale.

Rămâi calificat

Începând cu data de 3 decembrie 2024, șoferii vor putea să rămână calificați alegând:

  1. CPC internațional pentru șoferi
  2. CPC național pentru șoferi

Ce înseamnă acest lucru pentru șoferii care revin la profesie?

Șoferii care doresc să revină în profesie trebuie să urmeze 35 de ore de formare înainte de a reveni. Totuși, acest lucru se va schimba de la 1 februarie 2025.

Modificări la 1 februarie 2025

Șoferii cu un permis de conducere expirat vor avea la dispoziție noi căi pentru a facilita revenirea la conducere.

Dacă CPC a expirat între 60 de zile și doi ani în urmă

Șoferii au la dispoziție patru opțiuni:

Opțiunea unu:

  • Urmați 35 de ore de formare internațională CPC pentru șoferi.

  • redobândirea calificării pentru a conduce în Regatul Unit și în UE.

Opțiunea doi:

  • Completați 35 de ore de formare națională pentru șoferi CPC.

  • Recâștigarea calificării pentru a conduce numai în Regatul Unit.

Opțiunea trei:

  • Urmați un modul de șapte ore de "întoarcere la condus".

  • Recâștigați instantaneu calificarea de conducător auto din Regatul Unit.

  • Pentru a conduce în UE, trebuie să efectuați 28 de ore suplimentare de formare în termen de 12 luni.

Opțiunea patru:

  • Ca parte a formării naționale CPC pentru șoferi, completați un modul de șapte ore "revenire la conducere".

  • Recâștigați instantaneu calificarea de conducător auto din Regatul Unit.

  • Urmați 28 de ore suplimentare de formare (CPC național sau internațional pentru șoferi) în termen de 12 luni.

Dacă CPC a expirat în urmă cu peste doi ani

Șoferii trebuie să urmeze 35 de ore de formare (internațională sau națională).

Carduri CPC pentru șoferi

Regulile privind cardurile CPC pentru conducători auto rămân aceleași - conducătorii auto trebuie să aibă asupra lor cardul atunci când conduc vehicule în mod profesionist. Cu toate acestea, tipul de card diferă în funcție de calificare:

Card CPC de conducător auto internațional

  • Identic cu modelul actual.

Card național de conducător auto CPC

  • Designul va include mențiunea "Domestic UK use only."

Dacă un conducător auto este calificat pentru ambele categorii, acesta poate deține două carduri.

Cum se pot pregăti administratorii de flote?

Managerii de flote se pot pregăti pentru schimbări asigurându-se de următoarele:

  • Aflați dacă șoferii lor au nevoie de un CPC internațional sau național.

  • Termenele de formare nu sunt depășite pentru a evita amenzile.

Cine este scutit de CPC pentru șoferi?

Sunteți scutit de obligația de a deține un permis de conducere CPC dacă utilizați vehiculul pentru:

  • Transport necomercial

  • Transportul materialelor pe care le folosiți la locul de muncă - condusul trebuie să reprezinte mai puțin de 30% din activitatea lunară rulantă.

  • Conducerea pentru cineva pentru care lucrați sau pentru propria dvs. afacere în domeniul agriculturii, horticulturii, silviculturii, agriculturii sau pescuitului - conducerea trebuie să reprezinte mai puțin de 30% din activitatea dvs. lunară continuă.

  • Conducerea pe o rază de 62 de mile de baza dumneavoastră - conducerea unui camion, autobuz sau autocar nu trebuie să fie activitatea dumneavoastră principală.

  • Conducerea către sau de la întâlnirile programate în prealabil la centrele de testare.

  • Lecții pentru oricine dorește să obțină un permis de conducere sau un permis de conducere CPC.

  • Menținerea ordinii publice.

Orientările complete sunt disponibile pe site-ul Gov.

Am nevoie de un CPC cu drepturi de vechime?

Șoferii care beneficiază de drepturi anterioare nu trebuie să dețină calificarea efectivă ca parte a permisului lor. Cu toate acestea, ei trebuie să efectueze 35 de ore de formare la fiecare cinci ani.

REGLEMENTĂRI PRIVIND PARCAREA VEHICULELOR UTILITARE GRELE ÎN MAREA BRITANIE: CE AR TREBUI SĂ ȘTIE FIECARE ȘOFER

Susie Jones

For many truck drivers, it can be challenging trying to navigate the number of regulations surrounding overnight truck parking in the UK. After a long day behind the wheel, they must adhere to several rules before they can even think about parking up for the night. We'll delve into these regulations and provide you with everything you need to know. Before we look at parking regulations, it's vital to understand UK and EU laws regarding rest periods. We've collated all you need to know about . However, in a nutshell, if your vehicle exceeds three and a half tonnes, you must have a tachograph fitted. A tachograph will record the number of breaks a driver takes. Truck drivers must adhere to the following:• Drivers must take 11 continuous hours of rest. This can be reduced to nine. • Truck drivers are required to take at least 45 hours of rest. • Driving time can be no longer than four-and-a-half hours before a break. A break must be at least 45 minutes.To comply with parking laws and ensure safety, truck drivers must follow strict regulations regarding where and when they can park overnight:• Many local authorities do not allow truck drivers to park in residential areas doing so may result in a fine or penalty.• If the maximum loaded weight of the vehicle is more than 7.5 tonnes (including any trailer), you must not park on a verge, pavement, or any land between carriageways unless there is police permission. • Truck drivers can use these for overnight parking. However, they provide less security and no amenities. Parking overnight in a lay-by is often the most straightforward and economical option but can pose a greater security risk.Failure to follow HGV parking regulations can result in fines, vehicle clamping, or impounding. These penalties are in place to encourage drivers to comply with the law and ensure road safety.Suitable parking locations include: Specifically designed for HGVs and include facilities such as fuel, food, showers, toilets, and security options. Many motorway service areas (MSAs) will provide areas for HGV parking. Most offer similar facilities as truck stops.

Using the or, drivers can check a site's security features, including fencing, CCTV, night watchmen, and TAPA accreditations. Truck drivers can park on verges or pavements if the parking is for essential loading and unloading. There are a few exceptions they must consider before loading and unloading:• Drivers must not park where yellow markings are on the curb, and upright signs advise restrictions. • The vehicle must not be left unattended.• On red routes, drivers should look out for specially marked and signposted bays showing when and where loading and unloading is permitted. • Councils and private estates may have different regulations. Truck drivers are restricted to using lanes one and two. On a four-lane motorway, drivers can use lane three. However, HGVs are not permitted to use the furthest right lane.A road may be marked unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles for the following reasons: These pose a challenge for many HGVs, especially long or articulated trucks. Ascending a steep incline for an HGV is a difficult task due to its heavy load, leading to reduced traction and wheel spin. Roads with limited width can feature sharp bends or walls on either side and are unsuitable for trucks. Due to their turning radius of HGVs, they require more space to maneuver. Roads with walls on either side leave little room for error and increase the risk of an HGV becoming stuck or causing damage.
