The question

Answered by Keir Mather
The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (DCPC) is designed to support road safety and the ensure professionalism of vocational drivers. It is a requirement for UK and EU freight and passenger vehicle licence holders operating within the UK and those travelling to, from or within the European Union, including the Republic of Ireland. Therefore, the Government has no plans to scrap the DCPC.
