Operators of HGV vehicles in Northern Ireland can expect a similar Operator Licensing scheme as enforced in the UK. Currently NI Operators don't have the same licence types as UK operators licence holders. Under new proposed legislation, which according to sources should be disclosed before the end of the year, the NI operators licence system will be brought in line with the rest of the UK.
This will mean that operators based in Northern Ireland will have to adhere to the same undertakings as UK operators. It is expected that the NI version will be an exact mirror of the UK operators licence legislation.
At this time, it is not known how the legislation will be phased in. Operators will need time to apply for Operators Licences and to become compliant with the system. OLMC will be tracking the Northern Ireland Operators Licence legislation, sign up to our newsletter to stay up to date.

| Gaz | Good luck to them, although its about time . |
| Me | This has been in the works for what seems like for ever. They seem to always be about to finalise everything "before the end of the year" and now it's a new year it's just the same. |
| none supplied | This development cannot happen fast enough for the 'better operators'in the region. It will cause a lot of pain in the short term, but benefit industry overall in the longer term |
| Jim Blyth | Can an Irish HGV with a NI operators licence carry out work in the uk the same way as a uk HGV with a UK operators licence |
