Passenger vehicles are required to meet emissions standards for exhausts; this now forms part of the annual MOT for cars aged three years or older. Any vehicles that are obviously failing to meet a suitable standard should be reported to the Driver and Vehicles Standards Agency (formerly Vehicles & Operator Services Agency (VOSA)).
Should you spot an excessively smoky diesel lorry, bus or coach (HGV’s & PSV’s), you can report this by completing the online reporting form on the Driver and Vehicles Standards Agency website.
You will need to tell them:
-
The type of vehicle (HGV or PSV)
-
The vehicle registration mark (registration number) of the smoky vehicle
-
The Company name on the vehicle
-
The location of where you saw the smoky vehicle
-
The date and time of when you sighted the smoky vehicle
-
