12-03-04 VOSA at the Commercial Vehicle Show
Have you a query about ISO cabling: do you need advice on testing; what powers have VOSA been given to stop vehicles; would you like to register for Operator self service? VOSA staff will be on hand to give advice and answer your questions on stand 48 in hall 8 at the Commercial Vehicle Show next week.
VOSA will be sharing a stand under the banner of Driver, Vehicle and Operator Group.
DVLA and DSA staff will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have on driving tests, licences and vehicle tax. If you fancy a challenge, why not try the short version of the theory or hazard perception test available on our computer systems.
VOSA staff are looking forward to meeting you there!
