Všetko, čo potrebujete vedieť o zmenách v systéme CPC pre vodičov

Vytvorené: 02. 12. 2024

Aktualizované: 02. 12. 2024

  1. decembra 2024 vstúpia do platnosti zmeny v osvedčení o odbornej spôsobilosti vodiča (CPC). Cieľom nového CPC je poskytnúť lepšiu flexibilitu vodičom, ktorí sa vracajú do profesie, a vodičom, ktorí absolvujú povinný výcvik. Venujeme sa nadchádzajúcim zmenám a ich vplyvu na vodičov.

Čo je CPC pre vodičov?

Systém CPC bol zavedený v roku 2007 a je povinnou kvalifikáciou pre profesionálnych vodičov v Spojenom kráľovstve a EÚ, ktorí chcú riadiť rôzne ťažké vozidlá, ako sú ťažké nákladné vozidlá, ľahké nákladné vozidlá, autobusy a autokary.

Vodiči musia absolvovať štyri testy:

  • Teória

  • Prípadová štúdia

  • Praktické

  • Ukážka bezpečnosti vozidla.

Po získaní osvedčenia CPC trvá päť rokov a počas týchto piatich rokov sa musí obnoviť absolvovaním 35 hodín pravidelného školenia.

Prečo sa uskutočnila konzultácia týkajúca sa CPC pre vodičov?

Vláda Spojeného kráľovstva chcela zistiť účinnosť CPC pre vodičov. Urobila to tak, že požiadala vodičov, školiteľov a ďalšie strany, aby sa zúčastnili prieskumu. Vláda sa zamerala na dve hlavné oblasti: zlepšenie výberu vodičov a prilákanie väčšieho počtu vodičov do odvetvia - napríklad uľahčenie získania vodičského preukazu v Spojenom kráľovstve pre vodičov so zahraničnou kvalifikáciou.

Aké zmeny vstupujú do platnosti?

Zmeny v CPC vodičov sú rozdelené do nasledujúcich kategórií:

Medzinárodné CPC:

Medzinárodný preukaz spôsobilosti vodiča je nový názov pre fungovanie predchádzajúceho preukazu spôsobilosti vodiča. Platí preň nasledovné:

  • Vodiči musia každých päť rokov absolvovať 35 hodín školenia CPC.

  • Kurzy musia trvať najmenej sedem hodín.

  • Ak je kurz rozdelený na jeden deň, vodič ho musí absolvovať v dvoch po sebe nasledujúcich dňoch.

  • Vodiči môžu absolvovať celkovo 12 hodín elektronického vzdelávania.

Národný preukaz spôsobilosti vodiča

Národný vodičský preukaz CPC poskytuje väčšiu flexibilitu pre tých, ktorí chcú šoférovať v Spojenom kráľovstve. Vodiči môžu absolvovať buď:

  • 35 hodín školenia každých päť rokov.

  • Kombinácia 35 hodín školenia National Driver CPC a International Driver CPC každých päť rokov.

Flexibilita znamená, že:

  • Školenie musí trvať najmenej 3 hodiny a 30 minút - poskytovatelia školení môžu ponúknuť dlhšie kurzy.

  • Ak ide o rozdelený kurz, nie je potrebné ho absolvovať v dvoch po sebe nasledujúcich dňoch - poskytovatelia kurzov môžu stanoviť svoje časové limity.

  • Školenie môže mať formu elektronického vzdelávania.

  • Vodiči môžu absolvovať 12 hodín elektronického vzdelávania v rámci celkového počtu 35 hodín.

Zostať kvalifikovaný

Od 3. decembra 2024 si vodiči budú môcť zachovať kvalifikáciu výberom jednej z týchto možností:

  1. Medzinárodné osvedčenie CPC vodiča
  2. Národné CPC pre vodičov

Čo to znamená pre vodičov, ktorí sa vracajú k povolaniu?

Vodiči, ktorí sa chcú vrátiť k povolaniu, musia pred návratom absolvovať 35 hodín školenia. To sa však od 1. februára 2025 zmení.

zmeny 1. februára 2025

Vodiči s neplatným vodičským preukazom budú mať k dispozícii nové cesty, ktoré im uľahčia návrat k riadeniu.

Ak platnosť CPC skončila pred 60 dňami až dvoma rokmi

Vodiči majú štyri možnosti:

Možnosť jedna:

  • absolvovať 35 hodín medzinárodného školenia CPC.

  • Získanie oprávnenia na vedenie vozidla v Spojenom kráľovstve a EÚ.

Druhá možnosť:

  • absolvujte 35 hodín národného školenia CPC.

  • Získajte kvalifikáciu na vedenie vozidla len v Spojenom kráľovstve.

Tretia možnosť:

  • absolvovať sedemhodinový modul "návrat k riadeniu".

  • Okamžite získajte vodičskú kvalifikáciu Spojeného kráľovstva.

  • Ak chcete viesť vozidlo v EÚ, absolvujte do 12 mesiacov ďalších 28 hodín odbornej prípravy.

Možnosť štyri:

  • V rámci národného školenia CPC absolvujte sedemhodinový modul "návrat k riadeniu".

  • Okamžite získajte vodičskú kvalifikáciu Spojeného kráľovstva.

  • Absolvujte ďalších 28 hodín školenia (národný alebo medzinárodný vodičský preukaz CPC) do 12 mesiacov.

Ak platnosť CPC skončila pred viac ako dvoma rokmi

Vodiči musia absolvovať 35 hodín školenia (medzinárodného alebo vnútroštátneho).

Karty CPC vodiča

Pravidlá týkajúce sa kariet CPC vodičov zostávajú rovnaké - vodiči musia mať pri sebe karty, keď profesionálne prevádzkujú vozidlá. Typ karty sa však líši v závislosti od kvalifikácie:

Medzinárodná karta CPC vodiča

  • Rovnaký ako súčasný dizajn.

Národná karta CPC vodiča

  • Na dizajne bude uvedené "Len na domáce použitie v Spojenom kráľovstve".

Ak je vodič kvalifikovaný pre obe kategórie, môže mať dve karty.

Ako sa môžu manažéri vozového parku pripraviť?

Manažéri vozového parku sa môžu na zmeny pripraviť tak, že zabezpečia nasledujúce opatrenia:

  • Zistite, či ich vodiči potrebujú medzinárodné alebo vnútroštátne osvedčenie CPC.

  • Termíny školení sa nedodržiavajú, aby sa predišlo pokutám.

Kto je oslobodený od CPC pre vodičov?

Od povinnosti mať vodičský preukaz CPC ste oslobodení, ak vozidlo používate na:

  • Nekomerčná preprava

  • Preprava materiálov, ktoré používate pri svojej práci - jazda musí predstavovať menej ako 30 % vašej mesačnej práce.

  • Jazda pre niekoho, pre koho pracujete, alebo pre vašu vlastnú poľnohospodársku, záhradnícku, lesnícku, poľnohospodársku alebo rybársku firmu - jazda musí predstavovať menej ako 30 % vašej kĺzavej mesačnej práce.

  • Jazda v okruhu 62 míľ od vašej základne - vedenie nákladného vozidla, autobusu alebo autokaru nesmie byť vašou hlavnou pracovnou náplňou.

  • Jazda na vopred rezervované stretnutia do testovacích centier alebo z nich.

  • Lekcie pre všetkých, ktorí chcú získať vodičský preukaz alebo vodičský preukaz CPC.

  • Udržiavať verejný poriadok.

Úplné usmernenie nájdete na webovej stránke Gov.

Potrebujem CPC s právami starého otca?

Vodiči s právami starých rodičov nemusia mať skutočnú kvalifikáciu ako súčasť svojho vodičského preukazu. Každých päť rokov však musia absolvovať 35 hodín školenia.

PREDPISY O PARKOVANÍ VOZIDIEL HGV VO VEĽKEJ BRITÁNII: ČO BY MAL VEDIEŤ KAŽDÝ VODIČ

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.
